MY FAVORITE WIFE

Nos. 297, 298.

Registration MP10463 (part 297) No renewal found

Term began: 1940-08-20
Claimant: No time for comedy; from the stage play by S. N
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 MP10463.

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