MYSTERIOUS DOCTOR SATAN

Nos. 243, 244.

Registration MP10918 (part 243) Uncertain

Term began

1941-02-11

Claimant

Republic pictures corp.

Class

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

Finding

registration number MP10918 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 MP10914 (part 243) No renewal found

Term began

1941-02-18

Claimant

Republic pictures corp.

Class

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

Finding

no renewal entry found for 1968-1970 in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections

In the public domain since

1 January 1970 (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 1968 or 1969 volume; volumes searched: 1968, 1969, 1970.
