Al Jennings of Oklahoma

The film 'Al Jennings of Oklahoma' was released by Columbia Pictures in 1951. Under the 1909 Copyright Act, works from this era required a renewal in their 28th year to maintain protection. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress records confirms that Columbia Pictures filed a valid renewal registration for this motion picture. The specific renewal record is R680654, filed on January 3, 1979, following the original registration LP646 on January 17, 1951. Because the copyright was successfully renewed, the film was granted the full 95-year term of protection from its original publication date. Consequently, the film will not enter the public domain in the United States until January 1, 2047.
