Machine-readable works. Where an unpublished literary work is fixed, or a published literary work is published only in the form of machine readable copies (such as magnetic tapes or disks, punch cards, or the like) from which the work cannot ordinarily be perceived except with the aid of a machine or device, special deposit requirements apply. See 37 C.F.R. 202.20(c)(2)(vii).
806.12(a)
Machine-readable works: what must be deposited. The form of deposit varies depending on the type of machine-readable work submitted for registration, but generally consists of some type of "identifying portions" of the work. Deposit of the entire work is acceptable in limited instances. In all cases, however, the deposit must be in a form visually perceptible without the aid of a machine or device. NOTE: Works published in a form requiring the use of a machine or device for purposes of optical enlargement (such as film, filmstrips, slide films, and works published in any variety of microform), and works published in visually perceptible form but used in connection with optical scanning devices, are not within this category. See 37 C.F.R. 202.20(c)(2)(vii)(A-B).
