and added entries but considering only usage found in the bibliographic description (primarily Notes
statements of responsibility) not headings appearing as main or added entries). (The form found
in the chief source of a person’s thesis is taken into account when choosing the form to be used
in the heading.)”
In February 2009, this was changed to:

“If the forms of a name vary in fullness, choose the form most commonly found. ... If no one
form predominates, choose the latest form. In case of doubt about which is the latest form,
choose the fuller or fullest form.”

Notes That literal transcriptions may appear elsewhere in a record, e.g., as part of the title
proper, in an “at head of title” note, in a quoted note, etc. In deciding whether a transcription
is a literal one, care must be taken to insure that the transcription has not been altered in
some way by cataloguing conventions used at the time the transcription was made, e.g.,
by abbreviation or by omission.
Personal names are the names, surnames or nicknames of characters that were created by an
author as well as of real individuals. First of all, it should be mentioned that the present paper
does not take into consideration the types of name systems in works of fiction, i.e., main,
secondary or episodic characters, names which are mentioned in an author’s text or in a dialogue
of characters, etc. And this is not related to the author’s intentions and motivation for a particular
choice; it only reflects it. However, it is impossible to completely disregard it, as the revelation
of an author’s idea requires from a translator some specific knowledge, sharp eye and
sophistication. Moreover, indeed, the most important and complicated thing is to transfer names
of main characters.

13.3 Pseudonymous Works

The Copyright Act defines a pseudonymous work as a work where the author’s identity is
provided as a fictitious name (such as where an author publishes a book under a pen name).
It does not matter if the public actually knows who the author is – if the copies or phono records
do not include the author’s actual identity, but instead include a fictitious name, the work is
pseudonymous.

In order to allow the creators of anonymous and pseudonymous works to get the full benefits of
the protection by a copyright, it is possible to have an anonymous or pseudonymous work and
the actual authorship thereof registered in the register of authors run by the German Patent and
Trademark Office. Thus, not only the personal claim of the creator to the copyright relating to
his work can be proved, but also the protection period of the work in question is extended in
accordance with the Copyright Act.
