Reply to Copyright Objection.

Once the application has been filed for registration, the author has to wait for a period of 30 days to see if any objection is filed in the Copyright Office against the claim. An objection may be raised for a number of reasons. It may be because of the similarities found in the work. Once such objection is raised, the Registrar informs the applicant of the same. In case any objection is filed, it adds up another one month to decide whether the copyright can be registered or not. A reply to Copyright objection is in the form of a legal letter. Although there is no fixed format to draft a response, it does require an understanding of the law. A proper reply to the objection letter should be given within 15-30 days of the issue of the letter. The reply is an opportunity to present arguments in support of the original claim of registration, the reply must deal with all the objections raised along with an examination report, affidavit and power of attorney.
