625.2 (C) Corrupted Deposit Copy(ies) Files Accompanying an Online Application
If the applicant submits the deposit copy(ies) in a file format that is listed on the U.S. Copyright Office’s website, and if the registration specialist is unable to access, view, or examine the deposit copy(ies) because the file appears to be corrupted, the specialist will ask the applicant to submit another copy or phonorecord of the work.
If the applicant resubmits the deposit copy(ies) in one of the file formats listed on the Office’s website, the effective date of registration generally will be based on the date that the Office received an acceptable copy, although the Office may assign a different date at its discretion (e.g., the date of the original submission).
