Notice affected by use of work.(cont'd)
I.
Notice on tag or container.(cont'd)
b.
A notice on a tag affixed with reasonable permanency to the work is acceptable (e. g., a metal tag nailed onto a wood sculpture, a cloth tag sewn into the hem of a scarf, a plastic label sealed to lace by heat process). Similarly a notice on a con­tainer in which the work may be expected to be kept by the user may be accepted (e. g., on a box containing a set of cards, or on a folder containing a group of maps).
II.
Notice likely to be lost in use of work. Where the work as deposited has a good. notice, but there is reason to believe that the notice will be concealed or lost when the work is used, the notice may be accepted, and a warning letter may be sent in appropriate cases.
Examples:
(1)
A mounted reproduction of a painting with notice on the edge of the mount­ing where it would be covered in framing.
(2)
A decal with notice on the margin or back only, so that the notice will not appear on the decal when trans­ferred to another surface.
(3)
A mold with notice on the margin only, so that the notice will not appear on the figure cast from the mold.
(4)
A motion picture film with notice on the leader which is not projected when the film is screened.
