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, notices from the Federal Register, material from BNA's Patent, Trademark & Copyright Journal; vital information governing the operations of the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), Copyright Office, and Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panels; and comprehensive indexes to help streamline legal research. In addition, the supplement includes summaries of new material for quick reference.

Updates in the April 2011 Supplement include coverage of:

• Copyright Royalty Board cost of living adjustment to music royalties for performances by colleges and universities
