No book issued on Dianetics and Scientology by any other author than myself has received my permission to copyright in any name but L. Ron Hubbard. If any book or pamphlet has been so copyrighted or any design trademarked it is illegal. The holder must be persuaded to assign or made to assign or sued until assignment is made. We never close such a case and never falter in expending money to accomplish this.

Any HCO Secretary anywhere is fully authorized to incur any expense to secure or make the seals, file or transfer or assign the copyrights, trademarks or registered marks of Dianetics and Scientology, secure a tape library and a master book and bulletin file and protect and safeguard these.

A simple request is ordinarily enough.

An HCO Secretary may hire independent of her usual solicitors and definitely independent of the solicitors of the area organization, lawyers or attorneys who are experts on copyrights and trademarks to (1) train her in their use and value and (2) secure them to her office in execution of this bulletin.

To leave one copyright outstanding anywhere is unthinkable.

All copyrights are made to L. Ron Hubbard, then after "my demise" it says in the franchise, to L. Ron Hubbard, Founder. But all copyrights, marks and rights, by blanket assignment are the property of and will remain the property of HCO Ltd the main office. Although the copyright is to L. Ron Hubbard it becomes by that the property of HCO with no further administrative action by reason of existing contracts and franchises.
