Special situations relating to corrections and amplifications of Copyright Office records. (cont'd)
1507.04
Problems relating to title of work. Where an applicant wishes to reflect a change or correction of title or the addition of a subtitle in a basic registration, the Copyright Office will accept an application for supplementary registration. The recordation of a document should not be suggested for the purpose of reflecting a change of title. Nevertheless, the Office will record such a document if the sender insists, after the sender has been notified that no annotation will be made on the application or catalog entries of the basic registration.
1507.05
Problems relating to authorship. Problems relating to authorship include the following.
1507.05(a)
Problems relating to authorship: name of author omitted. Where the name of an author was omitted from the application for the basic registration, supplementary registration is appropriate. In those cases where a transfer statement would have been required on the application for the basic registration, if that author's name had been included, a transfer statement will be required on the application for supplementary registration. Where the name of the person being added did not appear anywhere on the records of registration, some documentation confirming that the person is an author may be requested.
1507.05(b)
Problems relating to authorship: deletion of name. Where applicant states that the application for basic registration erroneously included a name as author which the applicant wishes to delete, the Copyright Office will accept an application for supplementary registration. In certain instances, the Office may request additional supporting statements.
