Recording fees.(oont'd)
II.
Separate assignments. A fee is required for each separate assignment or document, even if the, appear on the same page.
III.
Titles. In determining the number of titles in a document, the following considerations are observed:
a.
Every title of oopyrighted or copyrightable works listed in the document is included, but not designations referring to unoopyrightable matter (trademarks, patents, etc.)
b.
The term "title" for this purpose generally denotes "appellation" or "denomination!' rather than "registration," "work," or "oopyright."
1.
Where the same title is repeated more than once in the same document~ it is oounted as only one title, unless the document is too long or complex to make finding of duplicates feasible.
(a)
Duplicate titles are counted as a single "title" for purposes of com­puting the fee, even when different registration numbers or dates are indicated. The same is true in the case of various issues, volumes, chapters, installments,. etc., even when listed separately under differ­ent numbers and dates.
Examples of one title":
