Pursuant to the Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement (CASE) Act of 2020 and after soliciting public comments, the U.S. Copyright Office has published a final rule establishing procedures for the initial stages of a Copyright Claims Board (CCB) proceeding.
The rule provides procedures and requirements for the initial stages of a proceeding, including the following topics:
- Filing claims,
- Opting out of proceedings,
- CCB compliance review,
- Service of the notice of proceeding and claim,
- Service and filing of other documents,
- The CCB’s “second notice,” and
- Filing responses and counterclaims.
Among other provisions, the final rule institutes a two-part fee for filing a claim; standardizes requirements for the claim, response, and counterclaim; and requires certifying parties to affirm that they have confirmed the accuracy of information in the claim.
