What Is a Copyright Filing Fee? Costs and Key Steps in New York
A copyright filing fee is the amount paid to the U.S. Copyright Office to register your original work, starting at $45 for most online submissions under 17 U.S.C. § 408, and it is the foundation of enforceable copyright protection in federal court.
