VISUALLY PERCEPTIBLE COPIES

The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain three
elements. They should appear together or in close proximity on the
copies. The elements are:

1. *The symbol* (the letter C in a circle), or the word "Copyright", or
the abbreviation "Copr."; and

may be omitted when a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, with
accompanying textual matter, if any, is reproduced in or on greeting
