NEWS OF THE DAY

News of the day; v. 15, nos. 257-266.

Registration MP14782 (part 1) No renewal found

Term began: 1944-03-29
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 1971-1973 in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections
In the public domain since: 1 January 1973 (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 1971 or 1972 volume; volumes searched: 1971, 1972, 1973.

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 MP14782.

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 mi4784 interpreted as MP14784 (common OCR drop of P and digit misreads). Original date 5SApr4 resolved to 1944-04-05 based on renewal date 1971-07-15 (27 years later).”
