Low confidence: the original date in this record is unreadable, so the link rests on the number and the renewal year.

Registration LP7348 (part 2: The Hypnotic Eye) No renewal found

Term began: 1937-08-16
Claimant: Universal Pictures Co., Inc
Class: LP — published photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
Finding: no renewal entry found for 1964-1966 in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections
In the public domain since: 1 January 1966 (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 1964 or 1965 volume; volumes searched: 1964, 1965, 1966.

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 LP7348.

This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “Original number LP/378 corrected to LP7378 based on typical LP format and surrounding entries (LP7586, LP7474). Title 'Flaming death' likely a typo for 'Flaming' but read as-is.”
