Low confidence. This number was found loose in a stretch of OCR where two printed columns are interleaved, so its own © date clause could not be read; the link rests on the number and the renewal year alone. Read the page image before relying on it.

Registration MP11228 (part 5) No renewal found

Term began: 1941-05-22
Claimant: Hearst Metrotone news, inc.
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.

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 MP11228.

Registration MP11229 (part 6) No renewal found

Term began: 1941-05-24
Claimant: Hearst Metrotone news, inc.

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.

This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “Title reconstructed from surrounding lines: 'NO CENSUS, NO NG' is clearly 'NO CENSUS, NO FEELING' based on the pattern and the visible 'FE' in the OCR. Original number M11260 is MP11260. Renewal number R439680 is read from the line above the target line.”
