Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion

The film was originally registered for copyright by Universal Pictures Co., Inc. on July 31, 1950, under registration number LP251. As a US production released between 1928 and 1963, its copyright protection depended on a timely renewal filing during the 28th year of its initial term. According to the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the CCE, the copyright was successfully renewed by Universal City Studios, Inc. on March 21, 1978, under renewal number RE000000346. Since 1978 was the 28th year following its 1950 registration, this renewal is valid. Under the Copyright Term Extension Act, the copyright will not expire until 95 years after the original publication date, meaning it remains protected in the United States until January 1, 2046.
