Affair in Trinidad

Affair in Trinidad was originally registered for copyright by Columbia Pictures Corp. on July 30, 1952, under registration number LP1864. Because it was released during the 1928–1963 window, it required a manual renewal during its 28th year to maintain protection in the United States. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress (CCE) confirms that Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. (the successor to the original studio) successfully filed a renewal on April 21, 1980, under renewal number RE52824. This renewal extended the copyright for a total term of 95 years from the original publication date. As a properly renewed work from the pre-1964 era, the film's copyright is valid and will not expire until 95 years after its release, which is January 1, 2048. The film is currently under active commercial management by Sony Pictures (the parent of Columbia), with recent high-definition restorations and distribution on modern streaming and physical media platforms.
