I take this oath.
Registration LP9805 No renewal found
- Term began
- 1940-05-14
- Claimant
- Producers releasing corp.
- Class
- LP — published photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
- Finding
- no renewal entry found for 1967-1969 in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections
- 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.
A renewal had to be filed in the 28th year and would be listed in the 1967 or 1968 volume; 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 LP9805.
