US Copyright Office to Increase Registration Fees March 20, 2020

Share

From copyright.gov:

The Copyright Office is adopting a new fee schedule for services in the following areas: registration, recordation, record retrieval, search and certification, the Licensing Division, and other services. Congress authorized the Register to set and adjust Copyright Office fees that are fair, equitable, and give due consideration to the objectives of the copyright system. The Office adjusts its fees at appropriate intervals after conducting a study of the actual cost to the Office for providing its fee-based services. In setting its fees, the Office is mindful of its responsibilities to authors and other copyright owners to price services at a level that encourages participation in the registration and recordation process, not only for their own benefit but also for the benefit of licensees and other users of works of authorship, as well as the public at large. With these objectives in mind, the Office is adopting fees that will enable it to recover a significant portion of the costs to the Office for services that benefit both copyright owners and the public.
