(3) As an alternative to separate renewal registrations under
subsection (a) of section 304, a single renewal registration may be
made for a group of works by the same individual author, all first
published as contributions to periodicals, including newspapers, upon
the filing of a single application and fee, under all of the following
conditions:
(A) the renewal claimant or claimants, and the basis of claim or claims
under section 304(a), is the same for each of the works; and
(B) the works were all copyrighted upon their first publication, either
through separate copyright notice and registration or by virtue of a
general copyright notice in the periodical issue as a whole; and
(C) the renewal application and fee are received not more than
twenty-eight or less than twenty-seven years after the thirty-first day
of December of the calendar year in which all of the works were first
published; and
(D) the renewal application identifies each work separately, including
the periodical containing it and its date of first publication
(d) Corrections and Amplifications.--The register may also establish,
by regulation, formal procedures for the filing of an application for
supplementary registration, to correct an error in a copyright
registration or to amplify the information given in a registration.
Such application shall be accompanied by the fee provided by section
708, and shall clearly identify the registration to be corrected or
amplified. The information contained in a supplementary registration
augments but does not supersede that contained in the earlier
registration.
(e) Published Edition of Previously Registered Work.--Registration for
the first published edition of a work previously registered in
unpublished form may be made even though the work as published is
substantially the same as the unpublished version.
Section 409. Application for copyright registration.
The application for copyright registration shall be made on a form
prescribed by the Register of Copyrights and shall include--
(1) the name and address of the copyright claimant;
(2) in the case of a work other than an anonymous or pseudonymous work,
the name and nationality or domicile of the author or authors, and, if
one or more of the authors is dead, the dates of their deaths;
(3) if the work is anonymous or pseudonymous, the nationality or
domicile of the author or authors;
(4) in the case of a work made for hire, a statement to this effect;
(5) if the copyright claimant is not the author, a brief statement of
how the claimant obtained ownership of the copyright;
(6) the title of the work, together with any previous or alternative
titles under which the work can be identified;
(7) the year in which creation of the work was completed;
(8) if the work has been published, the date and nation of its
first publication;
