Processing of Corrective Entries
A.
Preliminary correspondence.
1.
Request for materials. Where it is determined that a "corrective entry" may be made to correct the error on our records, the applicant should be advised that the copyright owner or his authorized agent may apply for a completely new "corrective" registration by submitting a new application, the same number of copies required for the original registration and the required fee of $6.00.
2.
Request for explanatory statement. An ex­planatory statement reading "This is to correct Registration Number ______" should appear on the new application, either in the top margin or in the line designated for "new matter."
2.
Examining procedures.
1.

In additdon, it is essential that the "corrective" application and the original application agree in all respects except the one point in issue. If possible, the new copy or copies should be identical with the original deposit. (But see Section IV below).
