The Copyright Law is complex and situation-based. Therefore, professional counsel for specific cases is advised. However, it is also hoped that this document will serve as a template for the development of agency Office of General Counsel approved documents that can provide more specific guidance for the individual agencies. It should be noted that this document primarily addresses U.S. Copyright Law as provided at Title 17 of the United States Code (17 USC - Copyrights) and Title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter II (37 CFR, Chapter II - Copyright Office, Library of Congress).
