Termination Notice Form

The Copyright Office has established specific rules that guide how The MLC should handle Termination Claims from rightsholders. These rules outline how The MLC reviews Statutory Termination Notices and manages royalties for Works or Shares affected by Termination Claims and related disputes. The MLC has incorporated these rules into a Statutory Terminations Policy.

Under the Statutory Terminations Policy, you must give The MLC notice of your Termination Claim by completing and submitting a Termination Notice Form. Before you complete and submit the Termination Notice Form, you should review both the Statutory Terminations Policy and the Termination Notice Form Information Guide, and gather all necessary information and documentation.

If you have questions that are not addressed in the Statutory Terminations Policy or the Termination Notice Form Information Guide, please click here to visit our website page dedicated to Notices of Statutory Terminations. If you have already submitted a Termination Notice Form and have questions concerning your submission, please contact statutoryterminations@themlc.com.
