Law Office of Michael P. Eddy
We prepare United States copyright registration applications from $200. You pay the Copyright Office fee separately, straight to the Office. The starting attorney fee is for preparation of a typical application, not a promise that the Office will register the work.
Attorney-prepared U.S. copyright registration applications from $200, plus Copyright Office fees. A $65 fee is the current electronic Standard Application, and it is not a flat fee for every filing. A $45 Single Application fee applies only when the claim qualifies. Other filings cost more.
Registration is a claim in a work, examined by the Office. It is not a court judgment that you own the work, and it is not a license from anyone else. We will say which of those you are actually asking for.
If the Office writes back about the deposit, the authorship, or the claim, the response is the case. Deadlines are short. We quote that work separately from the $200 starting preparation fee.
Transfers, supplementary registrations, and other Office filings have their own fees and their own scope. We price the document you actually need, not a bundle.
A starting fee to prepare a U.S. copyright registration application. Copyright Office fees are not bundled in.
A $65 Copyright Office fee is the current electronic Standard Application. A $45 fee is the Single Application, and only when the claim qualifies (one author, same claimant, one work, not a work made for hire). Other filings cost more. The $65 figure is not a flat fee for every filing.
News covers federal copyright cases and Copyright Office rules and guidance, from primary sources only. A complaint states allegations until a court decides them.
