Can a non-human legal entity own copyright?
<p>Can non-human legal entities (for example, corporations) own copyright?</p>

<p>Yes. For example, corporations can own copyright.</p>
<p>They may own copyright after <a href="https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/canadian-intellectual-property-office/en/copyright/transfer-ownership" rel="noreferrer">assignment</a> (this is true across much of the commonwealth and in the U.S.).</p>
<p>In some jurisdictions, <a href="https://law.stackexchange.com/a/87607/46948">when a work is made for hire, the employer may be deemed the author and initial owner (e.g. U.S.) or just the initial owner (e.g. Canada).</a></p>
