Its purpose is to preserve the remedies of statutory damages and attorney’s fees for copyright owners of these works when they have been infringed before publication and registration. A pre-registered work must be registered within 3 months after publication. Pre-registration takes place only online, is not a substitute for registration, and is not a guarantee that the Copyright Office will ultimately register the work.
