S-128
whether a work containing such limiting statement is one subject to the Office of Education regulation and we should not undertake to inquire in every such case.
We have informed the Office of Education that:
(a)
It, in cases where it requires the limiting statement to accompany the notice, it wishes to have that statement reflected in our registration records, it should instruct the copyright claimant to state the limitation in the application for registration.
(b)
If no such statement. appears in the application, the limitation accompanying the notice will not be reflected in our registration records.
If in the future we learn of any other governmental regulation requiring a limitation, we will give the same information to the agency concerned.
The above policy does not concern disclaimers, i.e., statements of exclusion or limitation which indicate that some portions of the work are not covered by the claim of copyright. The present practices of the Office in this regard are not being changed.
