What kinds of work are eligible for "work made for hire" status?
There are now only 9 categories of works eligible for "work made for hire" status. While these 9 categories are fairly broad and probably encompass most of what firms buy and sell, there may be significant gaps.

A "work made for hire" is one specially ordered or commissioned for use as:

(1) a contribution to a collective work

(2) part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work

(3) a translation

(4) a supplementary work

(5) a compilation

(6) an instructional test

(7) a test

(8) answer material for a test, or

(9) an atlas
