In order to be entitled to copyright registration, a work must be the product of human authorship. Works produced
by mechanical processes or random selection without any contribution by a human author are not registrable.
Thus, a linoleum floor covering featuring a multicolored pebble design which was produced by a
mechanical process in unrepeatable, random patterns, is not registrable. Similarly, a work owing its form to the
forces of nature and lacking human authorship is not registrable; thus, for example, a piece of driftwood even
if polished and mounted is not registrable.
