Other
examples of special deposit requirements (but by no means an exhaustive
list) include many works of the visual arts such as greeting cards,
toys, fabrics, oversized materials (request "Deposit Requirements for
Registration of Claims to Copyright in Visual Arts Material"
[http://www.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ40a.pdf]); video games and other
machine-readable audiovisual works (request Circular 61
[http://www.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ61.pdf]); automated databases
(request Circular 65 [http://www.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ65.pdf] ,
"Copyright Registration for Automated Databases"); and contributions to
collective works. For information about deposit requirements for group
registration of serials, request Circular 62 "Copyright Registration for
Serials." [http://www.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ62.pdf] ,
If you are unsure of the deposit requirement for your work, write or
call the Copyright Office and describe the work you wish to register.
Unpublished Collections
Under the following conditions, a work may be registered in unpublished
form as a "collection," with one application form and one fee:
+ The elements of the collection are assembled in an orderly form;
+ The combined elements bear a single title identifying the collection
as a whole;
+ The copyright claimant in all the elements and in the collection as
a whole is the same; and
+ All the elements are by the same author, or, if they are by
different authors, at least one of the authors has contributed
copyrightable authorship to each element.
