COPYRIGHT OFFICE AMENDS REGULATIONS REGARDING COMMUNICATION WITH THE OFFICE
The Copyright Office is amending its regulations regarding communication with the Office to reflect a change and/or correction in the filing address for hand-delivered correspondence, claims, and other documents intended for the Office of the Copyright General Counsel. The amendments change the address for receipt of these documents from Room 403 to Room 401 of the James Madison Memorial Building. They also revise the regulations to distinguish between the delivery of documents hand delivered by private parties and those delivered by commercial couriers. In addition, the Copyright Office is making minor changes to other addresses found in its regulations and is adopting several changes regarding communications with the Office that were proposed in 2000 (65 FR 3404). These amendments facilitate communication with the Office in a timely and efficient manner. For further information, click here.
