Section 410(a) of the Copyright Act specifies: ‘When, after examination, the Register of Copyrights determines that… the material deposited constitutes copyrightable subject matter… the Register shall register the claim and issue to the applicant a certificate of registration under the seal of the Copyright Office.’

More here.

And here’s one of Corey’s works (copyrighted, of course).
