If you have problems filling out the registration form, whether you're filing online or using a paper form, or if you have a more complicated copyright situationâfor example, you're one of several creators of collaborative workâyou may want to consult with an intellectual property attorney. Your overall costs would then, of course, be higher.Additionally, if someone infringes on your work and you decide to launch an infringement lawsuit, you will need to pay the fees or costs associated with that lawsuit. And if you're looking to generate an income by licensing your copyright, you will face additional costs to obtain legal advice to help you with the licensing process.But for many people, the Copyright Office fees to register a copyright will be the only cost.
