What are Alternate Names?

Alternate names are all names that the public would be likely to use to search for the service provider’s designated agent in the Copyright Office’s online directory of designated agents, including all names under which the service provider is doing business, website names and addresses (i.e., URLs), software application names, and other commonly used names. Separate legal entities are not considered alternate names. For website addresses, the Office considers providing the top level domain (e.g., copyright.gov) sufficient to comply with Office regulations. It is not necessary to list all subdomains (e.g., copyright.gov/dmca-directory, dmca.copyright.gov) operated by the same service provider.
