If I send deposit copies of a sample issue of my serial publication to the Register of Copyrights, have I fulfilled the deposit requirement with respect to my serial publication?
No. For copyright purposes each serial issue is considered a separate work. You must deposit two copies of each issue within three months after the date of publication. If you do not intend to register, you may find it convenient to add the address of the Register of Copyrights to your mailing list so that two copies are automatically sent to the Copyright Office each time an issue is published.
