Work made for hire refers to a legal doctrine in copyright law where a work is considered to be created by an employee within the scope of their employment or a work specially ordered or commissioned for certain types of use, thus making the employer or commissioning party the legal author and copyright owner.
Typically, the employer or the party that commissioned the work is required to file work made for hire, as they are the legal authors and copyright holders of the work.
To fill out work made for hire, the employer or commissioning party should complete the necessary forms (such as a copyright registration form) by providing information about the work, including the title, authorship details, and a declaration that it falls under the work made for hire provisions.
The purpose of work made for hire is to clarify ownership rights in certain works, ensuring that the employer or commissioning party has full rights to the work produced by an employee or contractor without ambiguity regarding copyright ownership.
The information that must be reported on work made for hire includes the title of the work, the name of the author (if applicable), the date of creation, a statement that the work is made for hire, and the details of the copyright claimant.
