Form and contents of certified copies of deposits (other than Patent Office deposits).
b.
(cont'd)
1.
This frequently means making an extra copy, and it is the responsibility of the Copyright Office to give the Photo duplication Service clear instructions on this point.
2.
Where the material is being photographed, it is permissible for the Office to type the number and date on a slip of paper which can be placed next to the object and photographed with it, thus avoiding the necessity of making another expensive photograph.
c.
When requested, it is permissible to copy and certify only certain pages or portions of a work. A special certification clearly identifying the material certified must be drawn and typed in such cases, and the material copied and certified must include the page or surface bearing the registration number and date of deposit.
d.
In Classes G, H, I, K, and KK, before August 11, 1956, photographs were sometimes deposited in addition to, or instead of, three-dimensional copies, although their legal status was unclear.
1.
Copies of these photographs may be certified, but not as actual deposits; special certifications must be typed, referring to them as "deposited in connection with ..." a particular registration.
2.
Copies of these photographs are not to be provided when the applicant requests copies
of the deposit; they are supplied only when specifically requested.
