Section 205. Recordation of transfers and other documents [4]
(a) Conditions for Recordation. Any transfer of copyright ownership or
other document pertaining to a copyright may be recorded in the
Copyright Office if the document filed for recordation bears the actual
signature of the person who executed it, or if it is accompanied by a
sworn or official certification that it is a true copy of the original,
signed document.
(b) Certificate of Recordation. The Register of Copyrights shall, upon
receipt of a document as provided by subsection (a) and of the fee
provided by section 708, record the document and return it with a
certificate of recordation.
(c) Recordation as Constructive Notice. Recordation of a document in the
Copyright Office gives all persons constructive notice of the facts
stated in the recorded document, but only if-
(1) the document, or material attached to it, specifically identifies
the work to which it pertains so that, after the document is indexed by
the Register of Copyrights, it would be revealed by a reasonable search
under the title or registration number of the work; and
(2) registration has been made for the work.
