Identify each parent or subsidiary company or other related foreign company which manufactures genuine copies of the protected work or genuine phonorecords abroad, and the foreign title of the work if different from the U.S. title. State the name and principal business address of each foreign person or business entity authorized by the applicant or licensed by the applicant to manufacture genuine copies of the protected work or genuine phonorecords abroad, including the foreign title of the work if different from the U.S. title. If the name of the applicant differs from the name of the copyright owner identified in the certificate, provide a certified copy of any assignment, exclusive license, or other document recorded in the U.S. Copyright Office showing that the applicant has acquired ownership of the copyright. Provide five photographic or other likenesses of the copyrighted work. No copy is required to record a work readily identifiable by title and author such as a book, magazine, periodical, or similar copyrighted matter, or for a sound recording.
Copies are often helpful in subsequent enforcement efforts, however.
Where appropriate, five likenesses of a component part of a copyrighted work, together with the name or title, if any, by which the part depicted is identifiable, may accompany an application covering an entire copyrighted work. Enclose a check or money order payable to the U.S. Customs Service for the appropriate fee for each copyright to be recorded. Identify what information, if any, you are claiming as confidential or privileged.
