Class SR, Form SR: Sound Recordings. This category includes all published and unpublished sound recordings fixed on or after February 15, 1972. In addition, claims to copyright in literary, dramatic, and musical works embodied in a phonorecord may be registered in Class SR if the claimant for both the sound recording and the underlying work is the same and the application covers both the sound recording and the underlying material. "Sound recordings" are works that result from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds. The audio portions of audiovisual works, such as a motion picture soundtrack or an audio cassette accompanying a filmstrip, are considered an integral part of the audiovisual work and are registrable in Class PA rather than Class SR.
