This file is in the public domain because as an official form of the State of California, it falls under the California Public Records Act. Per County of Santa Clara v. California First Amendment Coalition (2009), the act does not provide authority for copyrighting government records subject to disclosure under the act. Since the completed form contains only basic information (name & address of the company and owner(s), it does not contain any content that would pass the threshold of originality and make it copyrightable under the supremacy clause.
