The Copyright Royalty Judges adopt amendments to regulations governing the filing of claims to royalty fees collected under a compulsory license to require that all claims be filed electronically through the Copyright Royalty Board’s (CRB) electronic filing system (eCRB). Any claims filer who experiences technical difficulties filing a claim should follow the procedure described in 37 CFR 303.5(m). For more information, click here.
