Reconsideration Procedure

The Copyright Office is publishing a final rule concerning reconsideration procedures. With a few modifications, this regulation continues procedures adopted by the U.S. Copyright Office in 1995 that permit copyright applicants to request reconsideration of its decisions to refuse registration. This regulation amends those procedures and incorporates them into Copyright Office regulations. Copyright applicants will continue to have two opportunities to seek reconsideration of a Copyright Office decision to refuse registration. A significant modification is that the reconsideration procedures are also made applicable to the Office's refusals to register mask works and vessel hull designs.
