Recordation of documents: procedures used for correcting and amplifying copyright Office records. (cont'd)
1505.01
Recordation of documents: corrections or amplifications of completed registrations. (cont'd)
sender insists on the recordation of a document, an affidavit or signed statement outlining the error or amplification may be recorded in the Copyright Office. In some instances, recordation of a document supporting the basis for registration of a claim to renewal copyright is required before registration can be made.
Example:
Where a renewal claim is submitted by an author whose name neither appears in the records of the original registration nor in a supplementary registration which has been cross-referenced to the original registration and the omission cannot be satisfactorily explained, registration of a renewal claim in that author's name will generally be made only if a document supporting the claim of authorship is recorded.
1505.02
Recordation of documents: correction of error in recorded document. Where errors in a document are discovered following recordation, no changes in the completed record can be made, but the sender may adopt one of three alternatives:
1)
Submit the corrected document for recordation.
2)
Submit a completely new document for recordation.
3)
Record an affidavit or other signed statement describing the error in the previously recorded instrument.
