Alexandra Straton (asker) Jan 25:
Sorry I chose the wrong answer. I don't know how o undo that!
neilmac Jan 18:
More context Is it a transfer, a waiver or a cession? I think I'd need to see more context before choosing one or the other (although I'm leaning towards "waiver").
philgoddard Jan 18:
And the 333 other entries for this word, many with the same context.

Please remember to check the glossary first, Alexandra.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Jennifer Levey : A waiver only expresses the copyright owner's intention to refrain from exercising that right. cesión/assignment means the owner ceases to hold the copyright.

Assignment or transfer of intellectual property rights

Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights
You can assign your intellectual property to someone else, allowing you to receive payment for the intellectual property you have spent time and money developing. The buyer is then free to exploit the intellectual property that they have bought in whatever way they choose.

Thank you!
Peer comment(s):

agree Adrian MM. : a canny answer, if implying an (equitable or legal!) assignment of the underlying 'chose in action', as with regd. vs. bearer company shares.

agree Jennifer Levey : In copyright law, 'assignment' is one of several ways in which copyright can be 'transferred' (others include 'testamentary disposition', by force of law, etc.). In Asker's context cesión clearly refers to 'assignment'.

Difference Between Assignment and Transfer

The difference between assignment and transfer is that assign means it's legal to transfer property or a legal right from one person to another.3 min read

The difference between assignment and transfer is that assign means it's legal to transfer property or a legal right from one person to another, while transfer means it's legal to arrange for something to be controlled by or officially belong to another person.

When used as verbs, assign means to set apart or designate something for a purpose while transfer means to pass or move from one person, place, or thing to someone or someplace else. When used as nouns, assign means the assignee and transfer is the act of removing or conveying something from one person, thing, or place to another. Transfer generally refers to titles whereas assignment is used with obligations and rights.

What is an Assignment of Intellectual Property?

Assignments of Intellectual Property are used to transfer (ie assign) ownership of intellectual property rights (IPRs) (eg trade marks or copyrights) from one party to another. An Assignment of Intellectual Property agreement facilitates an outright transfer of the owner's rights, titles and interests in the particular intellectual property (IP).

neutral philgoddard : That last reference is written by a bot and doesn't make sense. Assign is more common than transfer in this context.

Well, there are lots of sites with "transfer and assignment", so both exist, especially here in the UK
neutral Jennifer Levey : Copyright 'assignment' necessarily involves a 'transfer of the copyright' from one peron to another, but not all copyright 'transfers' are 'assignments' (which require the explicit consent of the copyright holder).

Reference:

Copyright 'transfer' vs. 'assignment'

https://www.lexisnexis.co.uk/legal/guidance/copyright-assign...

"Copyright is a property right and may be transferred by assignment, testamentary disposition or by the requirements of law such as on bankruptcy. The benefit of the right can also be licensed to third parties by the owner."
Peer comments on this reference comment:

agree Adrian MM. : Good points. Assignment can also be by 'operation of law' (IMO usurpation) when the copyright does not survive a corporate merger. The US is ahead of the UK on this one https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/do-change-of-control-trans...
