NEWS OF THE DAY

News of the day; v. 13, nos. 257-264.

Registration MP12418 (part 1) Uncertain

Term began: 1942-03-31
Claimant: Hearst Metrotone news, inc.
Class: MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
Finding: registration number MP12418 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 MP12414 (part 2) Renewed

Term began: 1942-04-02
Claimant: Hearst Metrotone news, inc.
Class: MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
Finding: renewal R465734 filed 1969-08-11 by Hearst Metrotone News, Inc (llm:date+title; CCE 1969, OCR line 41113)
Enters the public domain: 1 January 2038 (95 years from the 1942 publication)

A renewal registration for this work was found. The renewed term lasts 95 years from the original date, so the work remains under copyright.

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: “Original number M1414 interpreted as MP1414 (common OCR drop of second letter for motion picture serials). Part number 258 from 'vel5. 258' likely 'Vol. 5, No. 258'.”
