Content of pieces. (cont'd)
  • Image size. Generally, except in the case of photographic transparencies, the image of the work must be lifesize or larger. However, if less than lifesize, the image must be large enough to show clearly the entire copyrightable content of the work.
  • Color. The identifying material must reproduce the actual colors employed in the work.
806.04(b)(4)

Size of pieces.

  • Photographic transparencies. Photo­graphic transparencies must be at least 35mm in size. If the transpar­encies are 3 by 3 inches or less, they must be mounted in a way that makes them easy to handle and preserve; and the Copyright Office may require such mounting in particular cases.
  • Uniform size. All pieces except sepa­rate drawings or similar reproductions of the copyright notice, if any, must be of uniform size.
  • All pieces except photographic trans­parencies. The preferred size for all pieces except photographic transpar­encies is 8 by 10 inches, but in no case may a piece be smaller than 3 by 3 inches or larger than 9 by 12 inches.
