Register shall also specify the identifying material to be deposited in
connection with the claim for registration.
(e) If the Register of Copyrights, after examining an application for
registration, determines, in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter, that the application relates to a mask work which is entitled
to protection under this chapter, then the Register shall register the
claim of protection and issue to the applicant a certificate of

of registration of a mask work shall constitute prima facie evidence (1)

issued the certificate has met the requirements of this chapter, and the
regulations issued under this chapter, with respect to the registration
of claims.
