this work’’ space describes the physical

nature of the deposit rather than the

scope of the copyright claim. However,

the decision of the Third Circuit in

Raquel demonstrates that there is some

risk in engaging in this practice. It is

hoped that this statement of policy,

clarifying what the Office’s practice has

been and will continue to be, will offer

guidance to the courts and to litigants

about the Office’s examination practices

with respect to the nature-of-work

space, and will prevent other courts

addressing situations similar to that in

Raquel from reaching the same result as

in Raquel.
