Asked in Business Formation for Georgia

Q: If I paid someone to create a drawing for a clothing line. How do I get full ownership of the drawing?

An idea I come up with but I have someone to draw it out in art for me on paper, but for me to have full ownership over the drawing because it's my idea. & if someone else uses it I have proof its mine and can sue anyway who use it for this own purpose without my permission?

A: This looks more like an intellectual property matter than a business formation matter (where your post was originally uploaded). You could repost in the Copyright category. Not all questions are ultimately picked up, but your post remains open for four weeks. You would probably have better chances of a meaningful response from an attorney who is knowledgeable with these types of issues in the Copyright category. Good luck
