Chapter XXIX: Section 44: should be amended by inserting after "assignment", in

line 12, the words: "and index the same under the name of the
person by whom the original entry of copyright was made."

Section 45 should be amended so that lines 21 to 23 shall read as
follows: "signee shall in all cases give in the statutory notice
of copyright prescribed by this act the name of the person by whom
the original entry of the copyright was made."

Without this provision the public will be put to great
inconvenience in finding the original entry on which the copyright
depends. The copyright notice should be of a clear and specific
character so as to cause the public as little inconvenience and
uncertainty as possible.

Paragraph 52 should be amended by striking out "provided" and all
thereafter to the end of the paragraph in lines 2 and 3 of page
33. This provision is altogether too broad and the courts should
be left free to determine what are conditions precedent to a valid
copyright and whether there has been any breach of them.
