You may “correct” an existing registration if it contains information that was incorrect when that registration was made.

Unlike primary infringement that does not require knowledge or intention to infringe on the part of the alleged infringer and is hence subject to strict liability, secondary infringement occurs where the defendant knew or had reason to believe that activities in question are wrongful.

Supplemen- tary registration is the only legal mode permitting authors and claimants to augment the registration with a correction or amplification. A supplementary registration may be used either to correct or to amplify information in a registration.

You can change an address on a completed registration in one of two ways: 1 You can record a document listing all your registered works by title and registration number, along with your new address.

When to Use Form PA (Performing Arts) For registration purposes, musical compositions and dramatic works that are recorded on disks or cassettes are works of the performing arts and should be registered on Form PA or Short Form PA.

Cancellation is an ac- tion taken by the Copyright Office whereby either the registration is eliminated on the ground that the reg- istration is invalid under the applica- ble law and regulations, or the reg- istration number is eliminated and a new registration is made under a dif- ferent class and number.

Distinguishing between the two terms by technology and capability is common, while others distinguish by intended use (e.g., SR systems are for live event support and PA systems are for reproduction of speech and recorded music in buildings and institutions).

Form PA is for performing arts, including musical compositions and dramatic works. Form SR is for sound recordings in a fixed medium.

Which form should I use? Online registration through the electronic Copyright Office (eCO) is the preferred way to register basic claims. Paper versions of Form TX (literary works); Form VA (visual arts works); Form PA (performing arts); Form SR (sound recordings) are available on the Copyright Office website.
