SoundExchange has introduced a new feature called Bulk Resolution, to its SXDirect Overlaps & Disputes function. Beginning today users will be able to resolve overlapping claim disputes in bulk in addition to one by one.

**“Overlaps”** occur when multiple sound recording copyright owners (SRCOs) claim shares of a recording that exceed 100% for the same collection period. A sound recording becomes “disputed” when those SRCOs, after being notified of an overlap, maintain their claims that exceed 100%.

SoundExchange’s new **Bulk Resolution** feature enables simpler and quicker resolution of these multiple related disputes.

In addition to Bulk Resolution, SoundExchange has launched **Remove Claim** which enable the withdrawal of any erroneous new claims made which resulted in “overlaps”,
