GOLAN v. HOLDER 

Opinion of the Court 
Appendix to opinion of the Court 

the  restored  work  from  the  reliance  party’s  continued 
exploitation  of  the  work,  as  well  as  compensation  for  the
relative  contributions  of  expression  of  the  author  of  the 
restored  work  and  the  reliance  party  to  the  derivative 
work.
  “(4)  COMMENCEMENT  OF  INFRINGEMENT  FOR  RELIANCE 
PARTIES.—For purposes of section 412, in the case of reli-
ance  parties,  infringement  shall  be  deemed  to  have  com-
menced  before  registration  when  acts  which  would  have
constituted  infringement  had  the  restored  work  been 
subject  to  copyright  were  commenced  before  the  date  of 
restoration. 
“(e)  NOTICES  OF  INTENT  TO  ENFORCE  A  RESTORED 
COPYRIGHT.— 
  “(1)  NOTICES  OF  INTENT  FILED  WITH  THE  COPYRIGHT 
OFFICE.—(A)(i) A notice of intent filed with the Copyright
Office  to  enforce  a  restored  copyright  shall  be  signed  by
the  owner  of  the  restored  copyright  or  the  owner  of  an
exclusive right therein, who files the notice under subsec-
tion (d)(2)(A)(i) (hereafter in this paragraph referred to as
the  “owner”),  or  by  the  owner’s  agent,  shall  identify  the
title  of  the  restored  work,  and  shall  include  an  English
translation  of  the  title  and  any  other  alternative  titles 
known  to  the  owner  by  which  the  restored  work  may  be 
identified, and an address and telephone number at which
the owner may be contacted.  If the notice is signed by an
agent, the agency relationship must have been constituted
in  a  writing  signed  by  the  owner  before  the  filing  of  the 
notice.  The  Copyright  Office  may  specifically  require  in
regulations other information to be included in the notice,
but  failure  to  provide  such  other  information  shall  not 
invalidate  the  notice  or  be  a  basis  for  refusal  to  list  the 
restored work in the Federal Register.

“(ii)  If  a  work  in  which  copyright  is  restored  has  no 
formal title, it shall be described in the notice of intent in 
detail sufficient to identify it.
