The U.S. Copyright Act announced that a new fee schedule will take effect May 1, 2014. The new fees affect claim registration, document recordation, special series, Freedom of Information Act requests, and Licensing Division services. As a part of its periodic review of procedures in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 708, the Copyright Office enacted the changes based on a study which assessed Copyright Office fees, budget requirements, and public comments.
