Our Department enhances California`s economic growth by delivering valuable and innovative services to help employers, workers, and job seekers.
Being Colorado`s 5th largest city means Lakewood offers a myriad of career and advancement opportunities for its team members. Yet, while there are 145,000 residents, Lakewood has a distinct small town feel that translates to a workstyle and lifestyle that`s second to none. Speaking of lifestyle, Lakewood is in nature`s backyard, with golf courses, parks, biking and hiking trails, fishing, and even camping all within city limits. Plus, world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheater, skiing and the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains is just up the road. Feeling in an urban mood? Some of the region`s most unique shopping and entertainment is right here in Lakewood, as well as a thriving arts and cultural scene. And if you want to go really “big,” the light rail can whisk you into downtown Denver in no time.

The United States Copyright Office, and the position of Register of Copyrights, were created by Congress in 1897. The Register directs the Copyright Office as a separate federal department within the Library of Congress, under the general oversight of the Librarian, pursuant to specific statutory authorities set forth in the United States Copyright Act. Earlier in the Nation`s history, from 1870-1896, the Librarian of Congress administered copyright registration (at that time mostly books) directly, and earlier still, from 1790-1896, U.S. district courts were responsible for doing so. Today, the Copyright Office is responsible for administering a complex and dynamic set of laws, which include registration, the recordation of title and licenses, a number of statutory licensing provisions, and other aspects of the 1976 Copyright Act and the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act. By statute, the Register of Copyrights is the principal advisor to Congress on national and international copyright matters, testifying upon request and providing ongoing leadership and impartial expertise on copyright law and policy. Congress relies upon, and directs, the Copyright Office to provide critical law and policy services, including domestic and international policy analysis, legislative support for Congress, litigation support, assistance to courts and executive branch agencies, participation on U.S. delegations to international meetings, and public information and education programs. The past few years have been particularly active, as Copyright Office lawyers assisted Congress with more than twenty copyright review hearings and prepared numerous timely reports, including for example, The Making Available Right in the United States, Copyright and the Music Marketplace, Software-Enabled Consumer Products, and Orphan Works and Mass Digitization. As of early 2017, the Copyright Office has approximately 400 employees, the majority of whom examine and register hundreds of thousands of copyright claims in books, journals, music, movies, sound recordings, software, photographs, and other works of original authorship each year. In fiscal year 2016, the Office processed over 468,000 claims for registration, issued over 414,000 registrations, received 91percent of claims via our online application system, and collected $30 million in fees from registration. The Office also acts as a conduit for the Library, providing certain works of authorship, known as copyright deposits, to the Library for its collections. In fiscal year 2016, the Office forwarded more than 636,000 works, worth a net value of $35.6 million, to the Library. During calendar year 2016, the Office collected over $244 million in royalty payments from compulsory and statutory licenses under sections 111, 119, and 1003. In recent years, the Office has taken steps, through a set of public discussions, to propose ways to modernize the Copyright Office by examining relationships between the law, regulations, registration practices, technology, access to data, and the evolving copyright marketplace. Finally, the Copyright Office works regularly with the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Department of Commerce, including the Patent and Trademark Office, and the Office of the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator.
Responsible for IT contract management functions, fiscal analysis & planning, and server and desktop support services. This team provides Server and Tier 1, 2, and 3 Help Desk support for the Idaho Consolidated Services (ICS) Messaging system and Active Directory (44 customer agencies), the Department of Administration, and 35+ small agencies and commissions. This team provides 24x7x365 on-call systems support for ICS equipment as well as Monday through Friday 7:30 to 5:00 help desk support and other server support. Consolidated Contract Management: we strive to consolidate multiple agency IT product/service requirements into enterprise-wide procurements and/or contracts. When multiple agency contracts exist with a single vendor, we consolidate those contracts into fewer contracts (perhaps one contract) with that vendor. In addition, we ensure that contractors meet their service obligations in terms of price, delivery, and quality. Fiscal Analysis & Planning: we provide budget forecasting, planning, and oversight for our internal operations as well as for existing and new statewide consolidation activities.
