FAQ
Why is film registration this slow?
Film works have large sample files and more materials, so preparation and mailing take longer; the official examination time limit is the same as for other works (20 business days from acceptance). Start early.
Can shorts and promos register as film works?
Yes — shorts, promos and documentaries created by methods analogous to filmmaking can all register under this category.
What is the certificate for?
Official proof of the producer's ownership — needed for distribution licensing, festival entries, copyright deals and enforcement litigation.
What if it doesn't pass?
We respond to correction notices free of charge; returns caused by our material issues are refiled free.
