: I was hired by a agent of a big company to make the owner of that company to give to him as a qift from these people. On my web site they bought it from says I own the copyright and I will make more to make money that is how I live. I Also Thought them that by e-mail. they led me to believe that I could make 100. So I lowered the price. I have most of the e-mails.They got the doll and loved it. I kept asking if I could start marketing the doll and all i got was they need 10 for carity. I did not want to ruin their surprise. Now they say I cannot sell,market,show or tell anyone i made the doll. It is on show with my name on it in their company.They said they own the copyright on that doll because they sent me the pictures and hired me to make it. And they are a big company and they own all copyrights to anything with that company and the image of their owner. Do i own the copyright of my work?

Dear Mary,
From what you say it seems to me that you may have continuing rights in what you have created. The answer may be found in the agreement you have.
