Office
Publishes Final Rule Governing Termination of Transfers and Licenses
The Copyright Office is publishing a final
rule amending its regulation governing notices of termination of
transfers and licenses covering the extended renewal term. The current
regulation is limited to notices of termination made under section
304(c) of the copyright law. The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension
Act created a separate termination right under section 304(d). The
final rule establishes procedures governing notices of termination
of the extended renewal term under either section 304(c) or section
304(d). This final rule is effective on January 1, 2003. Notices
of termination served on or after January 1, 2003, must comply with
the amended regulation. (read
