974-1A

The title '974-1A' refers to an educational/industrial short film produced by Grover Film Productions. While the title appears cryptic, it was registered for copyright with the US Copyright Office in 1974. Under the 1909 Copyright Act as amended by the 1976 Act and the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, works published or registered between 1964 and 1977 are subject to automatic renewal of copyright. This means that a valid registration during this window secures protection for a full 95-year term from the date of publication or registration, regardless of whether a renewal application was filed in the 28th year. The film was registered under US Copyright Office number MP26214 with a date of April 15, 1974. Because the registration occurred in 1974, the copyright was automatically extended. It will not enter the public domain until January 1, 2070.
