267RD

The title '267RD' refers to a short experimental film produced by California State College, Long Beach, in 1968. Under the U.S. Copyright Act of 1909 (as amended for works released between 1964 and 1977), copyright was secured upon publication with a valid notice. For films of this era, renewal is automatic, but a valid initial copyright notice or registration was a 'condition of copyright' for works published before March 1, 1989. A search of the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) and the online Copyright Office database (cocatalog.loc.gov) does not return a formal registration for a film titled '267RD' from 1968 or nearby years. As a student or university-affiliated production, it is highly probable the film was distributed without a formal copyright notice or registration, which would place it in the public domain. However, because the online database for pre-1978 works is incomplete and many small-press or academic films were never centrally registered despite having legal protections, the status cannot be definitively confirmed without inspecting an original print for a copyright notice. In the absence of a registration record or proof of notice, the status is categorized as uncertain.
