Authors: particular situations. (cont'd)
1108.06
Stateless. A work of a stateless author is eligible regardless of the author's former or prospective nationality or domicile, and regardless of the place of first publication of the work. See section 1102.07 above.
1108.07
United States. A work of a U.S. national is eligible regardless of his or her domicile or the place of first publication. Where an author of a work is domiciled in the United States or the work is first published in the United States, it is eligible for registration regardless of the author's nationality. See sections 1102.03, 1102.04, and 1102.08 above.
1108.08
Territorial areas of the United States. Domicile or first publication in any of the territorial areas under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Government, other than the several States, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the organized territories, does not confer eligibility for registration: such areas include the unorganized territories, the trust territories, and other possessions of the United States. See section 1102.08 above. However, works by domiciliaries of, or first published in, these areas may be eligible on the basis of the nationality of the author: and since U.S. nationals include persons born in the outlying possessions of the United States, eligibility in such cases may be conferred on this basis. See section 1102.04 above.
1108.09
Anonymous and pseudonymous works. Where eligibility depends on the nationality or domicile of the author, that information must still be given on the application for registration even though the work is anonymous or pseudonymous. However, the identity of the author does not have to be stated in such cases.
