Special works are literary works, including technical reports, studies, and similar documents; music and dramatic works; and recorded information, regardless of the form or medium on which it may be recorded. Special works can include:
- The production of audiovisual works (including motion pictures and television recordings or the preparation of motion picture scripts, musical compositions, sound tracks, translations, adaptations, etc.).
- Histories of the Postal Service.
- Works pertaining to recruiting, morale, training, or career guidance.
- Surveys of facilities.
- Works pertaining to the instruction or guidance of Postal Service employees in the discharge of their official duties.
- Production of technical reports, studies, or similar documents not otherwise covered.
A contract for special works must enable the Postal Service to obtain ownership of the copyright for certain works. This is accomplished by contract provisions requiring the supplier to assign copyrights to the Postal Service in those works in which the Postal Service would not otherwise be considered the author. These rights and other related issues are addressed in Clause 8-10: Rights in Data — Special Works.
