Form of Notice for Visually Perceptible Copies

The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain all the

following three elements:

1. _The symbol_ (the letter C in a circle), or the word "Copyright," or

the abbreviation "Copr."; and

2. _The year of first publication_ of the work. In the case of

compilations or derivative works incorporating previously published

material, the year date of first publication of the compilation or

derivative work is sufficient. The year date may be omitted where a

pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, with accompanying textual

matter, if any, is reproduced in or on greeting cards, postcards,

stationery, jewelry, dolls, toys, or any useful article; and

3. _The name of the owner of copyright_ in the work, or an abbreviation

by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative

designation of the owner.
