... в параграфе 101 17-го тома Свода Законов Соединенных Штатов

А вот и само определение из оного параграфа: пункт первый относится к штатным работникам, а пункт второй - к лицам, привлеченным по контракту для выполнения отдельных задач. Ссылка ниже.
Желаю удачи,
Олег.

A "work made for hire" is--

(1)

a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her employment; or

(2)

a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a sound recording, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, as an instructional text, as a test, as answer material for a test, or as an atlas, if the parties expressly agree in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be considered a work made for hire. For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, a "supplementary work" is a work prepared for publication as a secondary adjunct to a work by another author for the purpose of introducing, concluding, illustrating, explaining, revising, commenting upon, or assisting in the use of the other work, such as forewords, afterwords, pictorial illustrations, maps, charts, tables, editorial notes, musical arrangements, answer material for tests,
bibliographies, appendixes, and indexes, and an "instructional text" is a literary, pictorial, or graphic work prepared for publication and with the purpose of use in systematic instructional activities. The terms "WTO Agreement" and "WTO member country" have the meanings given those terms in paragraphs (9) and (10), respectively, of section 2 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act [19 USC §3501].

Возможно, \"... в статье 101 ... \" будет правильнее.
