SINGLE APPLICATION FOR SEVERAL VERSIONS
OF THE SAME WORK
Single Application for Several Versions of the Same Work.
Where several versions of the same work (e.g., different arrangements of the same song; or English, French, and Spanish versions of the same book) are separately bound but are submitted with one application:
1. If the applicant states, or if we have other reason to believe, that the several versions were published together as a single work, they may be registered together on the one application.
2. If there is nothing (other than the single date of publication given in the application) to indicate that the several versions were published together as a single work, we will inquire whether such was the case.
3. If we are informed that the several versions were published separately, we will ask for separate applications. [July 1954]
