Collective works. (cont'd)

Periodicals other than daily newspapers. (cont'd)
308.04(b)
Difference in advertising matter. Where the only difference between the editions is in advertising matter, separate reg­istrations will not be made unless the advertisements are asserted to belong to the copyright claimant for the periodi­cal.
308.04(c)
Difference in uncopyrightable elements. Where the only difference between the editions is in uncopyrightable elements such as typography, size, coloring, paper stock, or the like, separate reg­istrations will not be made.
308.05
Daily newspapers: various editions. A sin­gle registration may be made for the various editions of a daily newspaper or for a daily newspaper which contains different regional supplements. If the application for regis­tration refers to the various editions or supplements, the deposit must include such editions or supplements.
309
Certain periodicals not collective works. Cer­tain periodicals are not collective works since they consist entirely of a single contribution. The application should, in such event, assert a basis of claim in "text," if original, rather than "collective work."
310
Contributions to collective works. An indi­vidual contribution that was written indepen­dently and not as a "work made for hire" is considered a separately copyrightable work. See 17 U.S.C. 201(c). Where the owner of copyright in a collective work has not obtained ownership of all rights initially belonging to the author of a particular contribution, such person cannot be the "claimant" of copyright in that contribu­tion. See 37 C.F.R. 202.3(a)(3). To register
