`
`Publication
`
`The definition of “publication” in the U.S. copyright law does not specifically address
`online transmission. However, “publication” may include the public distribution of copies
`by means of electronic transmission (e.g., over the internet). The applicant, who knows
`the facts surrounding distribution of copies of a work, must determine whether the work
`has been published or not (read more).
`
`If you determine the online work has been published, give the complete date and nation
`of first publication in the space provided. Give a single nation of first publication; this
`may be the nation where the work is uploaded.
`
`For a revised version, the publication date should be the date the revised version was
`first published, not the date the original version first appeared online. Note: The
`registration for a revised version covers only the new and revised authorship in that
`version.
`
`Note: If the same work is published both online and by the distribution of physical
`copies and these events occur on different dates, the publication date should refer to
`whichever occurred first.
`
`Year of Completion (Year of Creation)
`
`Give the year in which creation of this work was completed. Also, this should be the year
`this particular version was completed. Do NOT refer to earlier or later versions. Note:
`This year cannot be later than the year of publication.
`
`Date of First Publication
`
`Give the month, day, and year the work was first published in any country. If you do not
`know the exact date of first publication, give the approximate month, day, and year.
`
`Nation of First Publication
`
`Select the nation of publication from the drop-down menu. If the work was published in
`the United States and another country on the same day, give “United States” as the
`nation of first publication.
`
`ISBN
`
`If your work has an ISBN number, give it in the space provided. The International
`Standard Book Number is administered by the R. R. Bowker Company.
