"Karyn Temple was named Register of Copyrights in 2019 after serving as Acting Register since 2016, and was the first African-American woman to lead the U.S. Copyright Office. She helped modernize, update, and educate the public about the Office and its registration practices. Under Temple’s tenure, the Office completed another revision of the Compendium and released its policy study on software-enabled consumer products and a study on Section 1201 technological protection measures," says VP of Legal Policy & Copyright Counsel Rachel Kim. During Women's History Month, we recognize and celebrate Karyn Temple's support for the creative community.
