1311
Works first published abroad in English. Under the Act of 1909, as amended, ad interim copyright was a short-term copyright available to English language books and periodicals which were manufactured and first published abroad. It was secured by registration within six months of first publication abroad and lasted for a maximum of five years from the date of publication. Copyright could be extended to the full 28-year term if a U.S. edition was manufactured and published within five years after first publication abroad, and if a claim to copyright in the U.S. edition was also registered.
1311.01
Both editions registered. If ad interim and full-term registrations were both made within the proper time limits, renewal registration may be made to cover both editions.
1311.02
Single renewal application. A single renewal application can be submitted covering both the ad interim and full-term registrations, regardless of whether or not the U.S. edition contained new matter, provided both editions are eligible for renewal during the same calendar year. If both editions are included on a single renewal application, that application must include information taken from both original registrations. For the special problem presented by an antedated notice, see section 1303.01 above.
