TRIFLES OF IMPORTANCE
Nos. 893, 894.
Registration MP10428 (part 893) Uncertain
- Term began
- 1940-07-16
- Claimant
- Untamed; based, on the story Mantrap by Sinclair Lewis
- Class
- MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
- Finding
- registration number MP10428 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.
Registration MP10424 (part 893) No renewal found
- Term began
- 1940-07-18
- Claimant
- Untamed; based, on the story Mantrap by Sinclair Lewis
- Class
- MP — published motion picture other than a 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 MP10424.
