1507.07(d)(1)
Applicable notice requirements. If the work was published before 1978, the Examiner must also consider the applicable notice requirements. See the provisions of Chapter 4 of Compendium I, including situations where no notice was required, under the Regulations of the Copyright Office then in effect, for certain works first published outside the United states. In the case of works published before 1978, the following practices apply:
*
If the change in the date of publication makes the notice antedated, the application for supplementary registration will be annotated to reflect the date in the notice. The applicant must be notified as to the effect upon the term of copyright.
*
If the change in the date of publication makes the notice postdated by more than one year, supplementary registration will be refused, and the original registration will be cancelled.
*
If the change in the date of publication makes the notice postdated by one year, supplementary registration will be made and the applicant will be notified of the doubtful validity of the claim.
