Additional certificates(cont'd)
II.
Form and contents of additional certificates.
a.
With the exception of certificates of Patent Office print and label registrations,
all additional certificates are prepared by typing the facts of registration from the official records onto printed certificate forms.1.
A great number and variety of forms are used, dating back to 1870.
2.
The correct form to use in a particular case depends upon the date when the registration was made.
b.
Registrations made under the law in effect before July 1, 1909 were not always accompanied by the deposit of copies; in many cases registration was made on the deposit of a title page, and the copies were deposited later. In some instances, the deposit of copies was noted on the record of registration, but in many instances this was not done.
1.
If the copies were credited on the record of registration, this fact should also be indicated on an additional certificate, together with the date of deposit.
2.
If the copies were received but not credited, no mention of the copies should be made on the additional certificate. In such cases the applicant should be informed that he can also obtain a "certificate of date of deposit of copies." A special form is provided for this certificate, and the regular certification fee of $3.00 is charged for it.
