Special situations relating to corrections and amplifications of Copyright Office records. (cont'd)

1507.11

Examining Division error. Where it is dis­covered that the record of a basic registration contains an error that the Copyright Office itself should have recognized at the time registration was made, supplementary regis­tration is not appropriate. The Office will take measures to rectify its error. See 37 C.F.R. 201.05(a)(2).

1507.12

Earlier registration not authorized. If an applicant states that an earlier registration was made without the authorization of a person legally entitled to apply for registration, the Copyright Office will suggest that a complete new registration be made by the applicant. No cross reference will be made on either regis­tration. See section 108.06 of Chapter 100: BASIC POLICIES.

1507.13

Problems relating to minor errors. An appli­cation for supplementary registration that has been filed to correct what may seem to be even extremely minor errors or changes will not be refused.

Examples:

1)

Title on certificate: SWAN SONG
Title on deposit: THE SWAN SONG
Title as corrected on Form CA: THE SWAN SONG

2)

Title on certificate: IILL LOVE YOU
Title on deposit: IILL LOVE YOU
Title as changed on Form CA: I'LL LOVE YOU (FOREVER)
