2314.9 Filing Fee for Recording a Visual Arts Registry Statement
The filing fee for recording a Visual Arts Registry Statement is the same as the fee for recording a document pertaining to copyright. 37 C.F.R. § 201.25(d).
For information concerning this fee, see Section 2309.11 above. For information concerning the methods for paying the filing fee, see Chapter 1400, Sections 1403.3 through 1403.5.
2314.10 Date of Recordation for a Visual Arts Registry Statement
When the Office records a Visual Arts Registry Statement, the Office assigns a date of recordation to the certificate of recordation. The date of recordation is the date when the Office receives a statement that satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 201.25(c) of the regulations and the proper filing fee. See 37 C.F.R. § 201.25(e). If the statement and the filing fee are received on different dates, the date of recordation is based on the date of receipt for the last item that is received by the Office.
2314.11 Recorded Statements
When a Visual Arts Registry Statement has been recorded, the Office will return the statement to the remitter, along with a certificate of recordation. If the remitter submitted photographs or other documentation, the Office may retain these materials or may offer them to the Library of Congress for its collections. See 37 C.F.R. § 201.25(e).
The Office will create an online public record that identifies the title and registration number (if any) for the work listed in the statement, the name of the party who executed the statement, the date of execution, the document number assigned to the recorded statement, and the date of recordation. However, the Office will not cross-reference this record with the online public record for the registration (s) referenced in the statement (if any).
The fact that a statement has been recorded with the Office is not a determination by the U.S. Copyright Office that the statement is accurate, complete, or in compliance with Section 113(d) of the Copyright Act. The fact that information may be omitted from a statement shall not, in and of itself, invalidate the recordation, unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the statement is materially deficient and fails to meet the minimum requirements of Section 113(d). See 37 C.F.R. § 201.25(f).
2314.12 Amendments
If there is any change in the information reported in a Visual Arts Registry Statement, the author, the building owner, or his or her duly authorized representative may submit an amended statement. The amendment should contain the information set forth in Sections 2314.8(A) or 2314.8(B) and should correct or supplement the information set forth in the previously recorded statement. The amendment should be sent to the address specified in Section 2314.8, together with the filing fee specified in Section 2314.9. See 37 C.F.R. § 201.25(c)(4).
