620.4 (A) The Author and the Copyright Claimant Are the Same
If the work was created by a single author, and if the author is named in the application as the sole copyright claimant, there is no need to provide a transfer statement.
Example:
• An online application is submitted for a sculptural work. Alberto Bolero is named as the author and the sole copyright claimant. The work will be approved for registration; no transfer statement is required.
