37600

The film '37600' (also known as 'Crayola 37600') is an experimental short film directed by John Whitney Jr. and produced by Cine-Graphic. Although it was created around 1970, it was formally registered for copyright with the US Copyright Office in 1971. Under the copyright laws applicable to the 1964–1977 era, works were entitled to an initial 28-year term, and the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992 granted automatic renewal to all works in their first term at that time. A search of the US Copyright Office records confirms a primary registration (Registration Number MU08373) dated June 2, 1971. Because the work was in its first term in 1992, it received an automatic extension of 67 years, for a total term of 95 years from the date of publication/registration. Therefore, the work will not enter the public domain until January 1, 2067. The film is currently maintained in several archives, including the Academic Film Archive, which acknowledges the extant rights of the Whitney estate or successors.
