ADVERTISEMENTS

The U.S. Copyright Office recently implemented its Electronic Copyright Office ("eCO") Online System to allow users to file online copyright applications. As noted by the Copyright Office (link below), online filing allows filers to save $10 per application (noting that the standard $45 fee is reduced to $35 for online filing), also providing for faster application processing times and online status tracking. Furthermore, users may pay the online registration fees by credit card, debit card, electronic check, or electronically through a Copyright Office deposit account. This new online method supplements the other two methods of filing copyright applications, namely using the new fill-in Form CO (to be printed and mailed in) and original paper filings using Forms TX, VA, PA, SR, and SE.
