610.6 (D) (3) Edition Number, Version Number, or Other Identifying Information Not Provided
The registration specialist may amend the title provided in the application to indicate that the copy or phonorecord submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office is a specific version or a particular edition of the work, particularly if the applicant failed to exclude the prior versions or previous editions from the scope of the claim.
Example:
• The title on the application is Applied Genetics. The deposit copy indicates that this is the second edition of this work. If the applicant expressly limited the claim to the “new and additional text” contained in the second edition, the application will be accepted. If the claim has not been limited to the new material, the specialist may amend the title to read Applied Genetics (2nd Edition) and may add an annotation to the certificate of registration, such as: “Regarding title information: Edition statement added by Copyright Office from copy.”
