[Docket No. RM 97-5C]
Copyright Restoration of Works in Accordance With the Uruguay
Round Agreements Act; Notification Pertaining to Notices of Intent To
Enforce Restored Copyrights
AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress.
ACTION: Notification of request to retract prior filings of notices of
intent to enforce restored copyrights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice gives public notice that the Copyright Office has
received a notification of a request to retract the filing of certain
notices of intent to enforce restored copyrights under the Uruguay
Round Agreements Act.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 3, 2001.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charlotte Douglass, Principal Legal
Advisor to the General Counsel, or Marilyn Kretsinger, Copyright GC/
I&R, PO Box 70400, Southwest Station, Washington, DC 20024. Telephone:
(202) 707-8380. Telefax: (202) 707-8366.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, the
Copyright Office is charged with publishing in the Federal Register any
notices of intent to enforce restored copyrights timely filed with the
Office. Notices filed with the Office must be filed within 24 months
after a work initially becomes eligible. See 17 U.S.C. 104A(d)(2)(A).
At this time, only works the source country of which is a foreign
member of the World Trade Organization or the Berne Convention are
eligible for restoration. 17 U.S.C. 104A(h)(3). On or shortly after
January 1, 1996, the effective date of the Uruguay Round Agreements
Act, the great majority of these countries fulfilled the conditions for
eligibility. For those reasons, the time for filing notices of intent
from the overwhelming majority of countries has now expired. Thus,
typically, the Office does not receive new NIEs that are timely.
The URAA also prescribes conditions under which NIEs may be
corrected. In 1997, the Copyright Office adopted an interim regulation
under which corrections of errors in Notices of Intent to Enforce
restored copyright may be filed. 62 FR 55736 (1997). In accordance with
that regulation, the Office has published in the Federal Register lists
of certain Correction Notices which reflect information erroneously
listed on or omitted from original NIEs. 37 CFR 201.34. Any timely
filed original or correction NIEs are published within four months
after receipt on the next scheduled publication date. 17 U.S.C.
104A(e)(1)(B).
The Office now publishes a list of NIEs that is neither of original
nor Correction NIEs but a judicially required statement which is the
result of an action related to ownership of certain restored
copyrights. The Office publishes this notice consistent with the intent
of the URAA that makes the Copyright Office responsible for providing
public notice of significant facts regarding, inter alia, the ownership
of restored copyrights.
In a letter dated August 30, 2001, responding to an Amended Final
Judgment in Alameda Films, S.A. v. H. Jackson Shirley III, No. H-99-
0734, slip op. at 4 (S.D. Tex. Aug. 1, 2001), Mr. Shirley notified the
U.S. Copyright Office that the Authors Rights Restoration Corporation
retracts all filings in the U.S. Copyright Office in any way related to
the eighty-one films listed in Exhibit ``A'' of the district court's
order. This case has been appealed to the fifth circuit, No. 01-20869,
docketed August 24, 2001.
