Work Made For Hire

Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

Under copyright law, a work created by an employee within the scope of employment, or a commissioned work that falls within certain categories and is the subject of a written agreement. when a work is made for hire, the hiring party is considered the author and owner, not the person who creates the work. this status — that is, whether a work is made for hire — affects the length of copyright protection and termination rights.
