Manufacture in U. S.(cont'd)
II.
Partial manufacture in U. S.(cont'd)
b.
Where a book subject to the manufacturing clause consists of separable component works, some manufactured in the United states and some manufactured abroad (and the binding is done in the United States), a claim limited to the separable works manufactured in the United States may be registered in Class A.
Examples:
(1)
A book by a U. S. author containing a treatise in English printed in the United States and the same treatise in German printed abroad, the claim being limited to the English version.
(2)
Defoe's "Moll Flanders" with its public domain text printed abroad and a new introduction printed in the United States, the claim being limited to the introduction.
(3)
A collection of short stories in English, some by U. S. authors printed in the U. S. and, some by Australian authors printed in Australia, the claim being limited to the works of the U. S. authors.
III.
Limited claims and disclaimers.
a.
Where portions of a work meet the manufacturing requirements and other separable portions do not, it is preferable for the copyright notice on the copies to contain a limiting statement or disclaimer. Example: "© John Doe 1958 in pages 101-432." The same statement should appear on the application.
b.
Where the notice contains no limitation or disclaimer, an application in which the claim is clearly limited may be accepted with a cautionary letter.
6.2.3
Affidavit.
I.
When required. An appropriate affidavit of manufacture in the United States must be submitted as a prerequisite to the registration in Class A of a book subject to the manufacturing clause. It is not required in any other case.
