36900

The film '36900' is a silent-era short drama produced by Universal in 1916 and directed by Jacques Jaccard. Under the United States Copyright Act of 1976 and subsequent extensions, all works published or registered for copyright in the United States prior to January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain regardless of whether their copyright was ever renewed. The film was originally registered with the US Copyright Office in 1916 (identified in the Catalog of Copyright Entries, 1916, Motion Pictures, under registration number LP7417). Because the work was published well before the 1928 cutoff, its copyright protection expired no later than 75 years after publication, placing it firmly in the public domain for US copyright purposes.
