621.9 (A) (3) Unclaimable Material Described in the Application but Not Included in the Deposit Copy(ies)
If the applicant completes the New Material Included/Material Excluded fields or spaces 6 (A) and 6 (B), but the deposit copy(ies) do not appear to contain any unclaimable material, the registration specialist may annotate the record to clarify the content of the deposit copy(ies).
Example:
• A paper application is submitted for an unpublished work consisting solely of words. In space 6 (B) the applicant explains that the author “added words to go with music.” In space 6 (A) the applicant disclaims “previously published music.” The work may be registered with an annotation such as: “Regarding limitation of claim: Copy only contains words.”
