1507.01(d)
Supplementary registration requested to correct statement as to rightful claimant. An application for supplementary registration may be accepted to correct a statement as to the rightful claimant in an unpublished registration effective on or after January 1, 1978, or a work first published after that date. See also section l507.0l(a) above.
NOTE: Thus, where a registration was authorized but the wrong name was given as claimant, the Copyright Office will accept an application for supplementary registration.
1507.01(e)
Statutory copyright secured before 1978. Where statutory copyright was secured before 1978, and the allegation is that a different claimant owned the copyright at the time of basic registration, the Copyright Office will refuse an application for supplementary registration. A document conveying rights from the original claimant of record may be recorded.
1507.02
Change in name or address of author or claimant. Where an applicant wishes to correct an error or have the records of the Copyright Office reflect a change in the name or address of the author or claimant in a basic registration, the Copyright Office will accept an application for supplementary registration. If the applicant so requests, the Office will record a document reflecting such correction or change.
