Copyright Office Invites Public to Monthly Recordation System Webinar

On August 1, 2022, the Copyright Office expanded access to the Recordation System to the full public. Separate from the Office’s registration application, this new module allows users to transfer their copyright to someone else electronically. Currently, the Recordation System can process documents that fall under section 205 of Title 17 but not notifications of termination.

To keep the public informed about the Recordation System, the Office hosts a monthly, forty-five-minute webinar that covers announcements about the module, important reminders, frequently asked questions, and a live question-and-answer session. Anyone that records transfers of copyright ownership and other documents pertaining to a copyright may register to attend. The next webinar will be hosted on December 1 at 1:00 p.m. eastern time and will feature a live walkthrough of the application dashboard and the submission wizard.
