CO Finalizes Rule for Updating Single Application Eligibility

The single application can be used to “register one work that is created and solely owned by one author and is not a work made for hire” starting Jan. 28, the Copyright Office said Thursday, issuing a final rule. The application also can be used to register “one sound recording and one musical work, literary work, or dramatic work,” though “a sound recording and the work embodied in that recording are separate works,” the CO said.
