DOCUMENT TITLE: Assignment and Assumption (RTC) SUBJECT: Transfer of all right, title and interest in certain licensing agreements from Author's Family Trust-B to the corporation known as "Church of Spiritual Technology" (CST) PARTIES: Norman F. Starkey, Trustee of Author's Family Trust-B; Meade Emory and Sherman Lenske, architects of the probate and corporate restructuring, drafters of the "Assignment Assumption"; Sherman Lenske, Stephen Lenske, and Lawrence E. Heller, Special Directors of CST at the time of the "Assignment Assumption," as "consultants" to Starkey (Trustee of both Author's Family Trust-A and Author's Family Trust-B), and as "Trust Protectors" BACKGROUND AND NOTES In this 29 November 1993 "Assignment and Assupmtion" Norman F. Starkey transfers to the corporation known as "Church of Spiritual Technology" (CST) all right, title, and interest in all of the licensing agreements Starkey had earlier made with the corporation known as "Religious Technology Center" (RTC) for use of the Advanced Technology. Each agreement referred to in the document itself, below, is linked to our copy of our report about that document on this site. If you see the licensing agreements as what they actually are--methods of control Starkey had set up over RTC--this all becomes much clearer. Starkey is simply passing control over RTC to CST, where Meade Emory and the Lenskes had intended for it to go all along. See our report on how the IRS runs Scientology. It's important to note that in the licensing agreements referred to in this document, no copyrights are assigned or transferred to RTC. Only the rights to use and sublicense the Advanced Technology to other organizations is granted. CST, by virtue of another instrument of transfer on this same date, received sole ownership of over 7,000 copyrights, including the copyrights in all of the Advanced Technology, and is currently sole owner of all the copyrights, now numbering over 10,000. CST is not a church; it is a corporation. Ref. U.S. Claims Court No. 581-88T, Judge Bruggink:
