Documents to correct or amplify Copyright Office records. In certain circumstances, recordation of a document is the appropriate means of correcting or amplifying a completed Copyright Office record. However, the Office suggests that an application for supplementary registration be submitted in most such cases. Nevertheless, if the sender insists, the Office will in any case accept for recordation a document giving the pertinent information. For detailed practices in this connection, see Chapter 1500: CORRECTIONS AND AMPLIFICATIONS OF COPYRIGHT OFFICE RECORDS; SUPPLEMENTARY REGISTRATIONS.
