Claimant
Monogram Pictures Corp
Class
LP — published photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
Finding
no renewal entry found for 1962-1964 in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections
In the public domain since
1 January 1964 (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 1962 or 1963 volume; volumes searched: 1962, 1963, 1964.

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 LP5362.
