receipt of these items, the remitter should use the procedure described in Section 2309.14.
The current filing fee for submitting a corrected title list is set forth in the U.S. Copyright Office's fee schedule under the heading "Correction of online Public Catalog data due to erroneous electronic title submission (per title]"(www.copyright.gov/docs/fees.html). The amount of the fee is based on the number of titles included in the corrected list.
A recordation specialist will review the submission, and if appropriate, will correct the errors or omissions that appear in the online public record. In addition, the specialist will add a note indicating that the record has been corrected and the date that the corrections were made.
See generally Fees for Submitting Corrected Electronic Title Appendices, 79 Fed. Reg. 68,622, 68,622 (Nov. 18, 2014]; Changes to Recordation Practices, 79 Fed. Reg. 55,633, 55,635 (Sept. 17, 2014).
2309.14 Return Receipts for Transfers of Ownership or Other Documents Pertaining to Copyright
When a transfer of ownership or other document pertaining to copyright is submitted for recordation it may be several months or more before the remitter receives word from the Office concerning the status of the submission.
Upon request the Office will provide a return receipt confirming that the Office received a document. To request a receipt, the remitter must check the box on space 4 of Form DCS, and must submit two copies of the form in the same envelope or package with the document, the filing fee, and a self-addressed envelope bearing the appropriate amount of postage. When the submission is received, the Office will attach a date-stamped receipt to one of the forms and will mail these items to the remitter in the self-addressed envelope.
NOTE: Form DCS should only be used if the remitter intends to record a transfer of ownership or other document pertaining to copyright. It should not be used if the remitter intends to record a notice of termination, an interim designation of agent for an online service provider, or any other type of document discussed in this Chapter. To request a return receipt for these types of documents the remitter should follow the procedures described in Sections 2310.6, 2311, 2312.2, 2313.7, or 2314.8.
Requesting a return receipt is optional. A receipt indicates that the Office received the document described in the form on a particular date, but it does not establish that the document is eligible for recordation or guarantee that the Office will issue a certificate of recordation. Moreover, if the document is recorded, the date stamped on the receipt may or may not be the same as the date of recordation set forth in the certificate.
