Only if the original contract assigned the IP in the first place. The whole point here is that these weren't works for hire where the copyright belongs to the commissioning company, but were licensed from the creator and copyright holder, Alan Dean Foster.
You can't buy a licence and then assert that the terms of the licence don't apply to you.
