CopyrightOn March 24, 2014 the Copyright Office published a final regulation on fees for its various services. See 79 FR 15910-15920. Some services are free, e.g., inquiries to the Public Information Office. Many are not, e.g., registration of claims to copyright, recording documents of transfer, filing termination notices, obtaining additional certificates of registration. For the services where fees are raised, filing before May 1st can result in significant savings.
