CO Comment Deadline on State Sovereign Immunity Extended to Sept. 2

The deadline for comments on the Copyright Office study of state sovereign immunity from copyright infringement suits was delayed from Aug. 3 to Sept. 2, said Wednesday's Federal Register. It said the deadline for replies and relevant empirical research is Oct. 2. The Senate Intellectual Property Subcommittee requested the comments after the Supreme Court ruled in Allen v. Cooper states are immune to copyright infringement liability (see 2006030025).
