What is a “work for hire”?



A “work for hire” (also known as a “work made for hire”) is doctrine of intellectual property law governing ownership of material. The premise is that if a person or company hires another to create something under a work for hire arrangement, the person who hired the creator is the owner of the work. For example, let’s suppose Company A hires Joe Programmer to write a piece of software under a work for hire arrangement. The end result is that Company A owns the software, Joe does not.
