CO Proposes Technical Amendments to Services Regulations

The Copyright Office released a rulemaking notice Monday proposing technical amendments to the office’s regulations for registration, recordation, licensing and other services. The amendments mainly codify recent changes to operations, including the office’s reorganization, which included the establishment of a chief information officer and a copyright technology office, the CO said in the Federal Register. The amendments would reflect the CO’s 2014 copyright practices compendium and include updated citations to U.S. copyright law, said the CO notice. The amendments would also propose removing expired and obsolete provisions of CO regulations and generally make the regulations more readable, the office said. Comments are due Nov. 2.
