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: “Renewal number is unreadable in the provided chunk. The line '3. © 23Dec41; M11216. rip 3 5091 2 3 23 an69; +' appears to be a corrupted renewal entry for part 3 of Universal Newsreel v.14. The original date and number are clear, but the renewal date and number are garbled. The surrounding lines show other parts of the same newsreel with renewal numbers R455085 and R455086, suggesting this part would have a similar R455xxx number, but it cannot be read with confidence.”
Registration MP12127 (part 4) No renewal found
- Term began
- 1941-12-25
- Claimant
- Universal pictures co., 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.
