Which warranty addresses ownership and transfer rights?

• A. No Encumbrances
• B. Sole Ownership - The seller is the sole owner with unrestricted right to sell and transfer the rights being granted
• C. No Infringement
• D. Original Work

Answer: (B)

Guaranteeing ownership and the ability to transfer rights rests on a Sole Ownership warranty. This clause explicitly says the seller is the sole owner of the rights being granted and has unrestricted authority to sell and transfer those rights. That direct promise addresses both who owns the rights and whether they can be transferred freely, which is exactly what a licensee needs to avoid later disputes about co-ownership or blocked transfers.

Other warranties touch related issues but not the core guarantee of transferability: No Encumbrances focuses on the absence of liens or other claims that could burden the rights, No Infringement covers that the use won’t infringe third-party rights, and Original Work asserts originality. None of these directly assure that the seller actually owns the rights free and clear or can transfer them without restriction.
