Contract Compliance Checker and Deadline Tracker

Check a copyright contract against the mandatory statutory elements under the Act and track the 60-day URSB registration deadline.

Step 1

Mark the terms present in the contract

Check only terms that are clearly written in the signed document.

Step 2

Track the URSB registration deadline

Section 34 uses a 60-day filing window for assignments and exclusive licences.

Optional, but needed to calculate the registration deadline.

Registration is separate from signing

A signed assignment or exclusive licence may still need registration at URSB within the statutory filing window.
