lacks the statement required for works consisting
preponderantly of U.S. Government material; and
+ A notice located so that it does not give reasonable notice of the
claim of copyright.

The omission of notice does not affect the copyright protection, and no
corrective steps are required if the work was published on or after
March 1, 1989. For works published between January 1, 1978, but before
March 1, 1989, no corrective steps are required if:

1. The notice is omitted from no more than a relatively small number of
copies or phonorecords distributed to the public; or

2. The omission violated an express written requirement that the
published copies or phonorecords bear the prescribed notice.

In all other cases of omission in works published before March 1, 1989,
to preserve copyright:

1. The work must have been registered before it was published in any
form or before the omission occurred, or it must have been registered
within 5 years after the date of publication without notice; and

2. The copyright owner must have made a reasonable effort to add the
notice to all copies or phonorecords that were distributed to the
public in the United States after the omission was discovered. If
these corrective steps were not taken, the work went into the public
domain in the United States 5 years after publication. At that time
all U.S. copyright protection was lost and cannot be restored.

Error in Year

If the copyright duration depends on the date of first publication and
the year given in the notice is earlier than the actual publication
date, protection may be shortened by beginning the term on the date in
the notice. (For later date in the notice, see "Omission of Notice.")

Example: A work made for hire is created in 1983 and is first published
in 1988. However, the notice contains the earlier year of 1987. In this
case, the term of copyright protection would be measured from the year
in the notice, and the expiration date would be 2082, 95 years from
1987.

Error in Name

When the person named in the notice is not the owner of copyright, the
error may be corrected by:

1. Registering the work in the name of the true owner;

*or*

2. Recording a document in the Copyright Office executed by the person
named in the notice that shows the correct ownership. Otherwise,
anyone who innocently infringes the copyright and can prove that he
or she was misled by the
