SECTION: 2.34 APPLICATION FOR COPYRIGHT REGISTRATION The applicant for copyright registration shall be made on a form prescribed by the Copyright Office and shall include such information as the copyright office determines necessary to permit reasonable public identification of the existence, scope, and initial ownership of copyright claimed in works protected under this law. SECTION: 2.35 REGISTRATION OF CLAIM AND ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATE (a) When, after examination, the Director General of Copyright determines that, in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter, the material deposited constitutes copyrightable subject matter and that the other legal and formal requirements of the chapter have been met, the Director General shall register the claim and issue to the applicant a certificate of registration under the seal of the Copyright Office. The certificate shall contain the information given in the application, together with the number and effective date of the registration. (b) In any case in which the Director General of Copyright determines that, in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter, the material deposited does not constitute copyrightable subject matter, that the claim is invalid for any other reason, the Director General shall refuse registration and shall notify the applicant in writing of the reasons for such refusal. (c) In any judicial proceedings, the certificate of a registration made before or within five years after first publication of the work shall constitute prima facie evidence of the validity of the copyright and of the facts stated in the certificate of a registration made thereafter, shall be within the discretion of the court. (I) SECTION: The effective date of a copyright registration is the day on which an application, deposit, and fee, which are later determined by the Director General of Copyright or by a court of competent jurisdiction to be acceptable for registration, have all been received in the Copyright Office. 2.36 NOTICE OF COPYRIGHT: PUBLICATION INCORPORATING LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT WORKS Whenever a work is published in copies or sound recordings consisting preponderantly of one or more works of the Liberian Government, notice of copyright may be provided and shall include a statement identifying, either affirmatively or negatively, those works protected under this title. SECTION: 2.37 NOTICE OF COPYRIGHT: CONTRIBUTIONS TO COLLECTIVE WORKS A separate contribution to a collective work may bear its own notice of copyright; however, a single notice applicable to the collective work as a whole is sufficient in respect of the separate contributions it contains (not including advertisement inserted on behalf of persons other than the owner of copyright in the collective), regardless of the ownership of copyright in the contributions and whether of not they have been previously published. 37
