Chapter XXXVI: Section 60: of the bill provides that several volumes of the same

book or a series of photographs, drawings, etc., relating to the
same subject--with variances only in pose or composition--may be
registered for one fee. But a connected series of instruction
carded for educational use, a series of color prints to be used on
toy building blocks, sliced animals, games of authors, and other
card games are protected. There is no doubt that a new game, such
as pit, flinch, etc., should be copyrightable as a unit, whether
with or without rules for instruction, in such a manner that all
the artistic work and literary work may be fully covered by
copyright, although the items of the series are not physically
connected, and are not each provided with separate copyright
notice.

While the experts in charge of the bill may be able to phrase this
purpose in words more apt than those contained in the proposed
amendment, there is no doubt that it is the intention of the
framers of the bill to include the articles referred to in this
letter, and also that the bill as it now stands does not cover
such articles.

Respectfully,

BRIESEN & KNAUTH.
