Typically, registration of copyright in the United States
requires a single application (and application fee) for each work
in which copyright registration is applied for. For online works
like social media posts, the cost (in both effort and fees) to file
a separate application for each post can often outweigh the
benefits of registration. In part to address this issue, the U.S.
Copyright Office has launched a new process for Group Registration
of Short Online Literary Works. As the title suggests, the process
allows a creator to register copyright in multiple (up to 50)
online literary works at a time, with a single application and
application fee. For more information, including further
requirements, see the U.S. Copyright Office Circular 67 here.
