Class B(cont'd)

Example(cont'd)

paintings are reproduced in color and published for the first time in the supplement. A copyright notice acceptable for a "con­tribution to a periodical" appears on the front page of the supplement. Practice: The sup­plement may be accepted for a single registration in Class B on Form BB as a contribution to a periodical," However, if the applicant insists on Class G, a single registration may be made on Form G, even though the extent of protection given to the text­ual material by such registration is doubtful.

e.

Work of art and text combined. The presence of captions and incidental text in a work of art will not prevent regis­tration in Class G. However, if the copyrightable contents of a work which is pictorial, graphic, or sculptural in form are entirely textual, registration in Class G is not authorized.
