The Copyright Office Response to the COVID-19 Outbreak

Schnader’s Stephenie Yeung and Drew Kastner have published a new Client Alert, “The Copyright Office Response to the COVID-19 Outbreak.” The alert reads in part:

On March 31, 2020, the Acting Register of the United States Copyright Office announced that she will exercise her authority under section 710 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to adjust certain timing provisions in cases where compliance would have been possible but for the national emergency caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. Since then, the Copyright Office has made several such adjustments, and has expanded the rules on electronic submissions.
