Examining procedures(cont'd)
2.
Original published copies not available. In exceptiona1 cases, where the applicant states that it is impossible to obtain copies of the original work as first published, photostat or microfilm copies will be accepted. Reprints will be accepted only where the applicant states that it is impossible to secure copies or to make copies of the original edition. In such cases, the application and certificate will be annotated to show the nature of the copies deposited.
3.
Original certificate returned. The original certificate of registration should not be submitted, and it will be returned where it is sent to the Copyright Office.
IV.
Special Procedures Where the Corrective Entry Registration Involves Errors in Copies of Published Works
A.
Error on Original Deposit Copies. Occasionally, the applicant will discover that the copies originally deposited in support of a published registration contain an error, and he will file "corrected" copies in addition to a corrected application.
B.
Acceptance of "Corrected" Copies. Since the copies deposited for registration of a published work must be in the form as first published, whether or not we can accept the corrected copies depends upon the facts of first publication. (See Part II, Section II. A.)
1.
Authorized publication. If the original publication was authorized by the author or his assignee, then the proper course of action depends upon how many incorrect copies were published.
