Electronic Copyright Office Goes Beta

Posted By Scott Baradell On June 24, 2007 @ 10:00 pm In Legal Matters | No Comments

Photographers will soon be able to file copyright registrations quickly and inexpensively thanks to the new Electronic Copyright Office (eCO) ^[2], which enters its beta period on July 2.

The benefits of eCO will include:

A lower filing fee ($35 for a basic claim)
Faster processing time
Earlier effective registration date
Online status tracking
Online payment options

If you’d like to be a beta tester ^[3], you can apply with this online form ^[4].
