I designed a logo for a small business and I want to know how to get the rights to it because it is my original work and I dont want them to to try to pass it off as their artwork. Answer1:You DONT get the rights. Depending on the WRITTEN agreement, you either had the rights the instant you created the logo, or you gave them to the business. In EITHER case, the agreement rules. If the agreement is not in writing, YOU have to prove you IN COURT are entitled to the rights.
