At least here in Australia, and admittedly in another industry, if you have,
say, a bridge or a building designed, it is absolutely common practice that
copyright in that design is passed to the owner. And don't think there is a
premium put on the fee for that - architects' and engineers' have long been
screwed down way below the "recommended scale of fees" (recommended by the
designers' institutions, of course).
