Unpublished works. Registration of an unpublished "photograph" of either domestic or foreign origin requires the deposit of one complete copy of the work. (See topic 5.2.l.II.c.)

2.

Published domestic works. Registra­tion of a published "photograph" not of foreign origin requires the deposit of two complete copies of the "best edition" of the work as first published. (See topic 5.2.2.I.a.)

3.

Published foreign works. Registra­tion of a published "photograph" of foreign origin may be made on the basis of the deposit of either one or two copies. (See topic 5.2.2.I.b.)

(a)

Option A. One complete copy of the "best edition" of the photographic work as first pub­lished (together with the required registration fee) will suffice for purposes of deposit under Option A. In all other respects, the deposit requirements are the same as those specified for published domes­tic works in topic 2.11.3.III.b.2.
