Nos. 903, 904.

Registration MP10488 (part 903) Uncertain

Term began

1940-08-20

Claimant

Republic pictures corp.

Class

MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)

Finding

registration number MP10488 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 MP10484 (part 903) No renewal found

Term began

1940-08-22

Claimant

Republic pictures corp.

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.
