DUCK STEPS OUT
Nos. 62, 63.
Registration MP10187 (part 62) No renewal found
- Term began
- 1940-04-11
- Claimant
- Walt Disney production
- Class
- MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
- Finding
- no renewal entry found in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections for 1967-1969
- In the public domain since
- 1 January 1969 (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.
Renewal window 1967–1969; volumes searched: 1967, 1968, 1969.
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 MP10187.
Registration MP10188 (part 62) Uncertain
- Term began
- 1940-04-16
- Claimant
- Walt Disney production
- Class
- MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
- Finding
- registration number MP10188 also appears on another catalog entry with a different title; one of the two is misprinted or misread
The catalog entry has a problem (missing date, or a number that does not fit its year), so the renewal check cannot be relied on.
