| 2018-27823 | Streamlining the Single Application and Clarifying Eligibility Requirements | Rule | The U.S. Copyright Office is amending its regulations to update the eligibility requirements for its application forms to reflect recent technical updates. The final rule clarifies that the Single Application may be used to register one work that is created and solely owned by one author and is not a work made for hire. It also confirms that this application may be used to register one sound recording and one musical work, literary work, or dramatic work, notwithstanding the fact that a sound recording and the work embodied in that recording are separate works. The final rule further clarifies the eligibility requirements for the Standard Application, which may be used to register certain works that are not eligible for the Single Application. It updates the eligibility requirements for the paper applications of both the Single Application and Standard Application by clarifying that these forms may be certified with a typed, printed, or handwritten signature, and by eliminating the "short form" version of these forms. The rule also makes several technical amendments to the regulations governing preregistration, mask works, vessel designs, the unit of publication registration option, and the group registration option for database updates. | 2018-12-27 | 2018 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/12/27/2018-27823/streamlining-the-single-application-and-clarifying-eligibility-requirements | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-12-27/pdf/2018-27823.pdf | Library of Congress; Copyright Office, Library of Congress | 277,87 | The U.S. Copyright Office is amending its regulations to update the eligibility requirements for its application forms to reflect recent technical updates.
