Question
Im having difficulty complying with one particular requirement of form VA
which states: "At least one piece of identifying material must give the title of
the work on its front, back, or mount and should include an exact
measurement of one or more dimensions of the work."

In the real world, measurements of applied designs (subject of copyright
registration) would always correspond to the "exact measurements" of an
item or items they are applied to. In this particular case (a bathroom set), it
would be five or six 2D, and six or seven 3D objects, all with their own,
different measurements.

For instance, the height of the same work reproduced on a 72" x 72" shower
curtain would be H72", while on a 9oz  tumbler it would be H7". This is while
the "dimensions" of the digital file used for reproduction of corresponding
design could/would be based on different and also variable values.

What should i put as the dimensions?  

Answer
Dear Dimitri,

What is it that you're wanting to submit? Perhaps a call to the US Copyright Office would help. An agent there can likely walk you right through what it is you need to submit:

202-707-3002 or 202-707-5959

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Sincerely,
Shannon Moore
