Library of Congress Clause Samples
The 'Library of Congress' clause typically refers to a provision that designates the Library of Congress as a repository or reference point for certain documents, works, or standards within a contract. In practice, this clause may require parties to deposit copies of works, such as copyrighted materials, with the Library of Congress, or to use its cataloging and classification systems as authoritative references. Its core function is to ensure that important documents are preserved in a recognized national archive and that parties have a clear, authoritative source for referencing or verifying materials, thereby promoting consistency and accessibility.
