Language and authorship.(cont'd)
f.
Mixed authorship: English-language work. Where a book in English, manufactured and first published abroad, is written by authors of more than one nationality:
1.
If one or more of the authors is the citizen of a U.C.C. country, or if the work was first published in a U.C.C. country, registration may be made on Form A-B Foreign, regardless of the citizenship of the other authors; no disclaimer or limiting statement is necessary. If U. S. authorship clearly predominates, or if U. S. or non-U.C.C. authorship together predominate in a work first published abroad in a non-U.C.C. country, a cautionary letter pointing out the possibility of an additional ad interim registration may be sent.
2.
If none of the authors is the citizen of a U.C.C. country, and the work was not first published in a U.C.C. country, registration on Form A-B Foreign cannot be made. Ad interim registration may be made (assuming copyright relations) within six months of first publication abroad.
6.2.2
Manufacture in U. S.
I.
Processes to be performed in U. S.
a.
Printing from type. If a book subject to the manufacturing clause is printed from type, then the setting of the type, the making of any plates, and bhe printing from the type or plates, must all be
done in the United States.
For example, a book printed in the U. S. from plates made in England, or a book printed in Canada from type set in the U. S., would not meet the requirements of manufacture in the U. S.
