CO Adopts Technical Amendments to Services Regulations

The Copyright Office published a final rule Monday that made technical amendments to the office’s regulations for registration, recordation, licensing and other services. The amendments mainly codify recent changes to operations, including the CO’s reorganization, which included the establishment of a chief information officer and a copyright technology office, said in a notice in the Federal Register. There was no stakeholder opposition to the technical amendments, the CO said. The office proposed the amendments in October to reflect the CO’s 2014 copyright practices compendium and include updated citations to U.S. copyright law (see 1610030021).
