You can consider the question of making copyright on both sides. As an author who wants to get the right to his own work, or a second person who wishes to acquire rights from the owner. If you are the author, then there will be no problems if the author is not you, then it is necessary to overcome some formalities.
1
If the object of copyright has been born exclusively by your efforts, while nobody has been attracted to this, there is no need for any additional actions. You endow copyright automatically. You will only have to be attentive to that no one takes advantage of your work without permission. Nowadays, it became particularly relevant, since many lay out their works (books, music, video, etc.) on the Internet. With violation of copyright guilty, you can attract judicial responsibility.

Special attention deserves the question when creation is created in collaboration. Modern legislation does not provide for the distribution of copyright between co-authors in any proportions. Here there is a human factor - "how to agree." It is possible that one of the authors is inferior to all of their rights to another. The law does not prevent such "generosity", but it is worth making an additional co-authorship agreement. In general, it is best to discuss all legal nuances even before the start of working together and consolidate them at the legal level.

There are a lot of situations where you need to get copyright to the work that was not created by you. This, for example, can be the services of the "literary assistant" when writing a book. In such a "fake" authorship there is nothing criminal. However, we should think about the legal settlement of this issue in advance. First of all, a license agreement must be concluded with the assistant. This is in your interests, as the assistant to get paid for services, and you are the rights to work. Believe you later will be nothing.

In the standard author's license agreement, the main points should be indicated: what rights are transmitted for what time (this may be indefinitely or for a certain time) on what territory and others. Also, do not forget to discuss and document the time of work, the procedure for revising the finished work, payment procedure and other weighty conditions. At the end, the date and autographs of both parties.
When transmitting a copyright object, an act of receiving and transmission must be compiled. In this document, specify when, in what form and the amount of work is transmitted. So, if the product is transmitted on a disk or memory card, then in the act you must specify the carrier serial number. It is also worth noting in the act the point that the parties do not have complaints about each other. After signing the act, all copyrights go to you until the transfer time or you do not want to transfer them to another person.
In the license agreement, it is necessary to indicate that the author independently created a work. Also note your right to terminate the agreement in the event that this item is broken. If you have to work with a group of authors, demand from them a document in which it is stated that all questions on the transmission of copyright between them are agreed.
