- Term began
- 1948-11-12
- Claimant
- Dorland
- Class
- MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun 1946)
- Finding
- no renewal entry found for 1975-1977 in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections
- In the public domain since
- 1 January 1977 (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 1975 or 1976 volume; volumes searched: 1975, 1976, 1977.
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 MP3778.
