Intellectual property applicable to a new Book, Song, Speech, Photos, Screenplay, or Manuscript may include:

Copyright
Each original work of authorship fixed in a tangible or electronic form, including text, graphics, and pictures can be the basis of one or more copyright applications. As a reminder, you should always include a copyright notice on all web pages in the footer and all documents available on the website fixed on paper or in an electronic form, such as © 200_ Full Name/Company Name. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Note if multiple authors or designers are contributing to the work and a single person or entity desires to own the collective work then the authors or designers must transfer their rights to the single person or entity via an assignment/work-made-for-hire agreement; otherwise, each contributor is owed a ratable share of the profits realized from use, license, or sale of the work.

Contracts
Ownership rights should be clearly defined in an Assignment /work-made-for-hire agreement or set forth as clauses in authorship service agreements requiring agreement on intellectual property ownership by all parties participating in creation of the work.
