Copyright Office Adopts Amendments to Regulations Governing Recordation of Notices of Termination of Transfers and Related Provisions
The Copyright Office is adopting amendments to its regulations governing the recordation of notices of termination and certain related provisions that would: 1) communicate the Office’s practices as to its receipt of notices of termination that are untimely; 2) clarify that recordation of a notice of termination by the Office does not necessarily mean that the document is legally sufficient; 3) update the legibility requirements for all recorded documents, including notices of termination; 4) make minor explanatory edits to the fee schedule for multiple titles within a document (adding, “e.g., a Notice of Termination” as an example); and 5) establish a new mailing address to which notices of termination should be sent. The Federal Register announcement discusses the amendments and gives a new address to which notices of termination should be submitted for recordation in the Copyright Office.
