Additional Practices. (cont'd)
1612.01
Minor Typographical Errors. Where a minor typographical error appears in the document, the document will be indexed under the correct name or title.
Examples:
1)
"Great Russiand Short Stories"
2)
"Macame Du Barry"
1612.02
Date of execution. A document should contain the complete date on which it was executed. If the complete date is not given, the catalog record will reflect as much information as is given. 17 U.S.C. 205 provides that in the case of conflicting documents, statutory priority is given to transfers recorded within one month of execution in the United States or two months after execution outside the United States or the one recorded first.
1613
Documents to correct or amplify Copyright Office records. In most cases, a supplementary registration should be submitted to correct or amplify a completed Copyright Office registration. However, if the sender insists, the Office will 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.
1614
Certificate of acknowledgment. A certificate of acknowledgment is not required for the validity of a transfer, but is prima facie evidence of the execution of the transfer if:
1)
In the case of a transfer executed in the United States, the certificate is issued by a person authorized to administer oaths within the United States; or
2)
In the case of a transfer executed in a foreign country, the certificate is issued by a diplomatic or consular officer of the United States, or by a person authorized to administer oaths whose authority is proved by a certificate of such an officer.
