Gap in Termination Provisions; Inquiry

March 29, 2010 - 75 FR 15390 - RIN: - Download Full Notice: Text | PDF

The Copyright Office is seeking comments regarding the application of Title 17 to the termination of certain grants of transfers or licenses of copyright, specifically those for which execution of the grant occurred prior to January 1, 1978 and creation of the work occurred on or after January 1, 1978. The Copyright Office is seeking comments at this time because the deadlines for serving notices of termination for 1978 grants will begin to expire in 2011 and some stakeholders have raised questions with the Office and some Congressional Offices.

Agency Contact: Maria Pallante, Associate Register, Policy and International Affairs, by telephone at 202-707-1027 or by electronic mail at mpall@loc.gov.

This is a proposed regulation. Comments were due on May 14, 2010.
