It is true, the backlog is up to two years for printed submissions. For internet submissions they told me it is 6 to 8 months. Thanks, Bob Pinkus Hi Gordon,

I was curious about this so I called the copyright office early this morning.

It is true, the backlog is up to two years for printed submissions.

For internet submissions they told me it is 6 to 8 months.

Thanks,

So, if during that two year wait a plagiarism case arises before you receive the approved copyright will your application copy, on its own, be sufficient as proof, or would you have to again petition the Office to provide the actual proof?
