🇬🇧 English

The Copyright Office wants to raise its fees for the first time since 2020. Registration, recordation, and other Copyright Office services would cost more to account for inflation and rising operational costs since fees were last set using 2016-2017 data. This affects authors, musicians, filmmakers, publishers, and anyone who registers copyrights or uses Copyright Office services. If you regularly file copyright registrations, expect higher costs — though the Office says it's trying not to discourage individual creators.
