Completion of Form IS. (cont'd)
1214.03
Fee and contact. If the requester maintains a Deposit Account in the Copyright Office, the Account should be identified. Otherwise, the required fee should be enclosed with the request. The name, address, and telephone number of a person to contact about the request should also be provided on the form.
1214.04
Certification. The Form IS must include the handwritten signature of a person who certifies that he or she is either the copyright owner as shown in the records of the Copyright Office, or the duly authorized agent of the copyright owner, and that he or she authorizes the issuance of an Import Statement to the designated person.
1214.05
Registration number. If the work has already been registered, the applicant should give the registration number in the appropriate space on the Form IS. If registration is being applied for simultaneously with the request for an Import Statement, the Copyright Office will add the registration number to the Form IS.
1215
New versions. If the version to be imported is substantially different from the version in which a claim to copyright was registered, a claim to copyright in the version to be imported must also be registered before an Import Statement covering that version can be issued.
Examples:
1)
Where an Import Statement is requested for the fifth revised edition of a textbook, and the registration number given on the Form IS is found to be that for the second revised edition, the Copyright Office will inform the requester that no Import Statement can be issued unless registration is made for the fifth revised edition.
