S-49
e)
Where registration of a claim in a foreign book is based upon the deposit of one copy and a fee under Option A ("Af" series), but a registration number in the "Afo" series is assigned which would have been appropriate only if the registration were based upon the deposit of two copies and a catalog card in lieu of the registration fee.
B.
"Substitution" distinguished from "cancellation." A "substitution",is a case where a new application covering the same work is substituted for an erroneous application; the same registration number is used, and no accounting action is required.
II.
Mechanics of cancellation.
A.
Time to cancel. The mechanics of cancellation will not be started until the certificate of registration has been returned, but in special cases, where it seems impossible to obtain the return of the certificate, the entry may be cancelled without the certificate.
B.
Processing of previously' numbered applications. Cancelled registration numbers will not be reused, and the previously numbered application (or a substitute) will be annotated, marked "Cancelled," and remain in the bound records of the Copyright Office.
1.
Under no circumstances will the Office issue an additional certificate for a cancelled registration. However, since the cancelled application is part of the records of the Copyright Office, its existence may be reported in search reports, and photocopies may be prepared and furnished to the public. Certificates of such photocopies, if requested, may be furnished, but should be specifically drawn, and should be furnished
and charged for separately from certifications of correspondence in the case.
