The main volume of Patent, Trademark, and Copyright Regulations is a convenient loose-leaf compilation of all the intellectual property regulations found in C.F.R. Volume 37, plus extra materials not published in Volume 37 — agency policy pronouncements; citations to public laws, the Federal Register, and BNA's Patent, Trademark & Copyright Journal; vital information governing the operations of the Patent and Trademark Office, Copyright Office, and Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panels; and comprehensive indexes to help streamline legal research. In addition, each supplement includes summaries of new material for quick reference.

The August 2010 Supplement includes:

• Adjustment of copyright royalty rates and terms for public performances of use of sound recordings and for the making of ephemeral recordings in Part 383 of the CFR
• Final rule cancelling the affected portion of the interference rule related to the Federal Circuit's decision in Agilent Technologies Inc. v. Affymetrix Inc. removing 41.200(b) of the CFR
• Technical amendment to the Copyright Office rule on interest payments by cable operators, amending 201.17(i)(4)
• Amendments to the trademark regulations to implement the Trademark Technical and Conforming Amendment Act of 2010
• Amendments to update the service addresses for correspondence to the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) and PTO Solicitor

Timely updates make the August 2010 Supplement to Patent, Trademark, and Copyright Regulations a valuable resource for all IP practitioners. In addition, the loose-leaf format provides flexibility for adding new pages and substituting revised pages so that the volume, as a whole, stays current. The treatise is updated more often and includes more information than any available government compilation.
