Low confidence. This number was found loose in a stretch of OCR where two printed columns are interleaved, so its own © date clause could not be read; the link rests on the number and the renewal year alone. Read the page image before relying on it.

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: “The renewal number is clearly R368676 in the text. The original number LP8287 is present. The renewal claimant is Universal Pictures Co., Inc. (PWH) as indicated by the surrounding context and the next entry.”
