In certain oases, recordation of an affidavit or other document may be required as a condi­tion of renewal registration or of annotation of oomp1eted records.

Examples:

(1)

Where a partioular author's name appears nowhere in our records in connection with an entry, and the omission of his name cannot logi­cally be explained, registration of a renewal claim in his name will be made on it documents supporting his authorship are recorded.

(2)

Records of a registration cannot be changed to correct an applicant's error or to supplement the informa­tion given, but may be annotated to refer to a recorded document setting forth the facts.
