A assistant of the National Assembly familiar with the situation told Wired that Blanche, Perkins and Nieves did not appear to work because they did not have the job to appear. Assistant continues: As we always maintain, the president has no authority to appoint them. Robert Newlen is always the acting library of the National Assembly.
If the conversations are happening, they still have no public opinion. But Perlmutter had a number of members of the National Assembly publicly on her side. The president has no authority to delete copyright registration. That power is only in the library of the National Assembly. I felt relieved because the situation at the library and the copyright office was stable after the administration of the government in an administration of the government.
Meanwhile, the copyright office in a strange position is trying to continue as if it does not lack the head. Immediately after being fired by Perlmutter, the copyright office temporarily stopped granting the registration certificate, for a lot of caution, according to USCO spokesman, Lisa Berardi Marflak, who said that the time had affected about 20,000 registration. It continued activities on May 29 but currently sending a registration certificate with a blank point where Perlmutter's signature will usually have.
This abnormal change has Discussed Among copyright experts about whether the registration is more Easy to be legal challenges. The copyright office thinks that they are valid: there is no requirement that the signature of the registration book must appear on registration certificates, according to Berardi Marflak.
However, in a movement related to Perlmutter's lawsuit, she alleged Sending registration without signature opened them the challenges in the lawsuit, something outside the copyright experts also pointed out. It is true that the law does not require clearly, lawyer IP IP Rachael Dickson said. However, the law really clearly states that it is the copyright registration book to determine whether the document sent to the application is the subject of copyright or not.
If no one plays a registration role, Dickson thinks that it will be reasonable to argue that law requirements are not met. If you take them out of the equation, you have a really big problem, she said. Litnesses are trying to challenge the validity of copyright registration will jump into this.
Perlmutter lawyers have argued that leaving the copyright office without active bosses will cause functional disorders outside the registration certificate, because the registration book performs many different tasks, from consulting the National Assembly on copyright to re -certify such organizations, executives in projects. Because MLC's certification has increased right now, Perlmutter will often move forward with the re -certification of the organization; As her lawsuit noted, right now, the process of certification is not advanced.
MLC may not be affected by Perlmutter's absence as a complaint shows. A source close to MLC tells Wired that the organization really needs to be certified but the law does not require the certification process to be completed in a specific time frame, so it will be able to continue working as usual.
