You're retained to prepare a press kit for a client. You're provided logo, copy and images. You decide booklet dimensions, number of pages, color scheme, layout, graphic flourishes. You also color correct and touch up images and make numerous copy improvements.

You prepare a press-ready PDF. Your client is well satisfied.

There is no explicit clause in the agreement establishing ownership of the original, digital files. Who then owns them? Must the client's request for the files be fulfilled? If not, what recourse is available to both parties to resolve the issue? What about the special case of font files?

(And why, by the way, would you WANT to keep the files, even if the client has no contractual right to them?)

Thanks.
