the author or claimant of copyright must accompany the title. Use no
smaller paper than commercial note.

A remittance of one dollar must be made along with the application.
This is the whole charge--half of it being for the entry on the record,
and the other half for your certificate, which the Librarian will send
you promptly by mail. You will of course prepay your postage.

Within ten days after your book, or other article, is published, you
are required to send two complete copies of the best edition to the
Librarian, addressed as before, prepaying postage; or the Librarian
will furnish "penalty labels," under which they can be sent free of
postage. If this deposit of copies is neglected, the copyright is void,
and you are liable to fine of $25.

The law requires that on the title page of a copyrighted work, or some
part of the drawing, painting, statue, or whatever it may be, there
shall be printed these words: "Entered according to act of Congress, in
the year ----, by ----, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at
Washington;" or, if preferred, this briefer form may be used:
"Copyright, 18--, by ----." To this may be added, "Right of translation
reserved," or "All rights reserved;" but in that case the Librarian
must have been duly notified, so that he may include it in the record.

Any person who prints the copyright notice on his work without having
obtained a copyright, is liable to a penalty of $1.00. The original
term of a copyright runs for twenty-eight years, and it may then be
renewed for a further term of fourteen years, either by the author or
by his widow or children, application being made not less than six
months before the expiration of the right. Trade marks and labels
cannot be copyrighted under this law, but are provided for by a
separate act, relating to matters of detail, which cannot here be
recited, but in regard to which, the Librarian at Washington will give
the needed information whenever required.

TRADE MARKS, LABELS, PRINTS, ETC.--Copyrights cannot be granted upon
trade marks, nor upon mere names of companies or articles, nor upon
prints or labels intended to be used with any article of manufacture.
If protection for such names or labels is desired, application must be
made to the Patent Office, where they are registered at a fee of $6 for
labels, and $25 for trade marks.

By the word "print" is meant any device, word, or figures (not a trade
mark) impressed directly upon t
