Cinema Service Corp
Author
Joseph Seiden and Vincent Valentini, authors

Finding
no renewal entry found for 1965-1967 in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections
In the public domain since
1 January 1967 (end of the 28th year, no renewal)

A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and no matching renewal was found. A work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year.

A renewal had to be filed in the 28th year and would be listed in the 1965 or 1966 volume; volumes searched: 1965, 1966, 1967.

The renewal sections are OCR text of printed volumes; a damaged record can hide a renewal. Before relying on this, search the linked volumes yourself for the title and for number LU7988.
