The Copyright Claims Board (CCB) was established by the Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement Act passed by Congress on December 27, 2020 and began accepting claims in June 2022. It is a voluntary and virtual alternative to federal court for resolving copyright disputes up to $30,000. For further background, see our prior blog post.

Recently, the CCB issued statistics that it describes as “cumulative and focus[ed] on key metrics to show how the CCB has progressed since its launch, including information about those entities and individuals that have accessed CCB services and the outcomes of CCB proceedings.”

According to the statistics, there have been over 1000 claims filed between June 2022 and September 2024, 54% of which involved standard-track claims (up to $30,000 in damages) and 46% of which involved smaller claims (up to $5,000 in damages). Additionally, the CCB reports claim dispositions as follows:

  • Final determinations – contested proceedings = 9
  • Final determinations – default proceedings = 14
  • Settlements = 79
  • The respondent(s) opted out = 91
  • Requests to withdraw (settlement status unknown) = 82
  • Claim dismissed during compliance review = 391
  • Claimant did not serve = 153

You can learn more about the CCB on its website at ccb.gov.
