1507.07
Problems relating to status of work. The following problems relate to the status of a work.
1507.07(a)
Published work registered as unpublished. Where a publ1shed work was 1ncorrectly registered as unpublished, a supplementary registration is generally inappropriate, since the deposit requirements will not ordinarily have been met. In such cases, a new basic registration should be made. See also section 1507.08(d).
1507.07(b)
Unpublished work registered as published. Where an unpublished work was registered as published, the Copyright Office will accept an application for supplementary registration.
1507.07(c)
Incorrect date of creation. Generally, the copyright Office will accept an application for supplementary registration to correct the statement of the date of creation of a work. However, the date of creation given
in the supplementary registration must be the same as, or earlier than, the year date of the effective date of the basic registration, or if the work is published, the year date must be the same as, or earlier than, the year of first publication.1507.07(d)
Incorrect date of publication. Generally, the copyright Office will accept an application for supplementary registration to correct the date of publication of a work. However, in the case of a work published before January 1, 1978, the Office will refuse to accept an application for supplementary registration correcting the date of publication if, according to the records of the basic registration, the original term of copyright has expired.
