On or about July 1, 2007: The Office proposes a reduced fee of $35 for an electronic filing of a basic copyright registration. This lower fee provides an incentive for applicants to use the new eCO system (electronic Copyright Office), which will improve the timeliness of the Office’s service to the public. The current $45 fee for a paper application will be retained.
Sometime between October 1, 2007, and January 1, 2008: The Office will charge a fee for contents titles listed on an application for a collection, for example, for the titles of songs contained on an album. The Office will include these titles in its public registration records to make them more comprehensive and more useful to those who search the records. A fee will be charged for each title: $1 for each contents title in an electronic filing: $3 for each contents title on a paper application.
The Office has submitted a fee study to Congress that provides an analysis of the costs it incurs in providing services, as well as other pertinent information, including the schedule of fees. The fees will go in effect unless Congress acts before July 1, 2007, stating disapproval of the fees.
