USCO Form-Field Mapping
Why this language?
This language maps documented contributor roles to USCO-recognized categories: literary authorship (lyrics) and creative selection/arrangement. The iterative generation process establishes human creative control beyond mere prompting.
USCO Registration Guidance, 88 Fed. Reg. 16,190 (Feb. 2023)
Why this language?
The USCO requires disclosure of AI-generated material. All sonic elements generated by Suno are excluded because the AI system — not the human author — determined their specific expression.
USCO Registration Guidance — 'Material Excluded'; Part 2 Report (Jul. 2025)
Why this language?
This Note preempts common examiner questions by delineating human vs. AI contributions and establishing that the claimed elements reflect original creative expression under the Feist standard.
USCO Registration Guidance — supplemental explanation field
Risk Flags & Filing Guidance
The USCO may ask how the author's selection of AI outputs constitutes sufficient creative expression. Document the number of outputs evaluated, the criteria used for selection, and any modifications made between generation cycles.
See Zarya of the Dawn (Reg. # VAu001480196) — USCO limited registration to selection/arrangement that was 'sufficiently creative.'
If this work will be commercially distributed, adding an ISRC strengthens the link between the claim and the distributed recording.
Best practice for works intended for commercial distribution.
