Copyright Claims Board (CCB) disputes

The Copyright Claims Board (CCB) is an administrative forum that offers a streamlined process for resolving certain copyright disputes involving limited monetary claims. Created as an alternative to federal court cases, the CCB allows creators and businesses to handle issues such as infringement, non-infringement, and improper takedown notices through a simplified, primarily online process. Participation in the CCB is voluntary, and parties can choose whether to proceed in that forum or pursue claims in federal court.

Leason Ellis advises clients on whether the CCB is the appropriate venue for a specific dispute, considering costs, risks, and business goals. Our team prepares claims and responses, manages the procedural aspects of the CCB, and advises clients on whether to participate in the proceeding or choose to opt out and pursue alternative legal options.
