New Online Option for Copyright Registration

Beginning this summer (2007), the U.S. Copyright Office will offer an option to file online copyright registrations. They will provide a website that allows for faster processing time, earlier effective registration dates, status tracking, online payment and a lower filing fee of $35.

The current ‘snail-mail’ process will be retained, although current online forms will be replaced with new versions on or after July 1, 2007. The current paper application fee will also remain at $45. Read more about these upcoming improvements and services from http://www.copyright.gov/eco/.
