the United States Copyright Office

“ You have provided no evidence on sufficient creative input or intervention by a human author in the Work. We conclude, therefore, that the Work lacks the human authorship necessary to sustain a claim in copyright. The various legal and policy arguments put forth in your request for reconsideration are insufficient to convince the Office to abandon its longstanding interpretation of the Copyright Act, Supreme Court, and lower court judicial precedent that a work meets the legal and formal requirements of copyright protection only if it is created by a human author. ”

“ The Office will not register works produced by a machine or mere mechanical process that operates randomly or automatically without sufficient creative input or intervention from a human author. Compendium (Third) § 313.2. ”
