Filing for a copyright has just gotten easier thanks to a new “beta” program offered by the U.S. Copyright Office. For those who wish to file such applications, the Copyright Office is testing a web-based registration system called “electronic Copyright Office” (“eCO”). Users of eCO are able to file registration claims online at a fraction of the cost of regular paper copyright filings. For $35, eCO filers can file claims for literary works, visual arts works, performing arts works, sound recordings, and single serials. Users filing for other copyrights may not use eCo during the beta testing period. The US Patent and Trademark Office already offer electronic filing.
