A report by Copyright Office Kaminstein Scholar Robert Brauneis advises the Copyright Office to build an electronic recordation system to parallel its registration system, a process that has already begun. To inform development of electronic recordation, the report analyzes issues such as how to allocate responsibility for providing document cataloging information, how best to store and make available electronic documents, and how to accept and authenticate electronic signatures. The report also analyzes historical trends in document recordation, including increased use of security interests in copyrights in financial transactions.
