The U.S. Copyright Office has found some big names for its Copyright Claims Board. Former Copyright Office General Counsel David Carson has been appointed to the board along with Phillips Nizer IP practice chair Monica McCabe and McGuireWoods law partner Brad Newberg. The newly created board is expected to open for business between December of this year and June 2022.
Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden made the appointments in consultation with Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter. "We are pleased to welcome these three experts with such substantial experience in copyright law and alternative dispute resolution," Perlmutter said in a written statement.
The Copyright Claims Board was established last December by the new federal CASE Act, which was tucked into the second of three COVID relief bills.
