310
Contributions to collective works. (cont'd)
such a contribution, a separate application must be submitted naming as claimant the author of the contribution, or the person or organization that has obtained ownership of all rights in the contribution that the author originally owned.
310.01
All rights to an independent contribution owned by claimant of collective work. Where the copyright claimant in a collective work is also the owner of all rights in a particular contribution, the author of that contribution may be included as an author in the appropriate space on the application form. If such an individual author is identified on the application, the transfer space should be completed showing how the claimant obtained all rights in the contribution. However, the Copyright Office does not require that all authors of contributions covered by the copyright claim be identified on the application.
311
Unit registration for contributions to periodicals. The practices concerning unit registration for contributions to periodicals will be dealt with in Chapter 1400: GROUP REGISTRATIONS.
312
Book jackets. Book jackets often contain several kinds of authorship such as text, illustrations, and photographs. A claim in a book jacket may be registered if it contains a sufficient amount of copyrightable authorship. Where the copyright claimant of the authorship in the book jacket is not the same as the claimant in the book, a separate registration must be made for the book jacket. Where the claim in a book jacket is based solely on "design," that is, the arrangement, spacing, and juxtaposition of uncopyrightable elements, registration will be refused. See section 305.07 above.
