CO Extends Comment Deadline on NPRMs for Supplementary Copyright Registrations, Group Filings

The Copyright Office said it's extending to Jan. 30 the deadline for submitting comments on rulemakings to update the office's rules for supplementary registration information submissions, group registration of photos and group registration of periodicals. The CO released the NPRMs earlier this month (see 1612020025). The supplementary registration NPRM would update the rules to require an all-online application process. The photo registration NPRM would allow group registrations of unpublished photos, while the periodicals registration NPRM would require applicants for the group registration of contributions to periodicals to file claims online.
