False representation. The copyright law provides that any person who knowingly makes a false representation of a material fact in an application for registration, or in any written statement filed in connection with an application, shall be guilty of a criminal offense and shall be fined not more than $2,500. See 17 U.S.C. 506(e).
111
Territorial limitations. The U.S. copyright law has no extraterritorial effect in that generally its provisions with respect to infringement extend only to violations occurring in the United States. Since the practices of the Copyright Office spring solely from the U.S. law, ordinarily the Compendium of Copyright Office Practices deals only with U.S. copyright, unless it expressly states otherwise.
112
Recordations and Import Statements. The basic policies set forth above also apply, with some few alterations and exceptions, to the recordation of transfers of copyright ownership and other documents pertaining to copyrights, and to requests for the issuance of Import Statements. See Chapter 1200: MANUFACTURING PROVISIONS, and Chapter 1500: CORRECTIONS AND AMPLIFICATIONS OF COPYRIGHT OFFICE RECORDS: SUPPLEMENTARY REGISTRATIONS.
