Artists and Models

The film 'Artists and Models' (1937), starring Jack Benny and Ida Lupino, was produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It was originally registered for copyright on August 4, 1937, under registration number LP7350. Under the copyright laws governing works published between 1928 and 1963, the copyright required a manual renewal during the 28th year of the first term to extend protection for a second term. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) confirms that the film was successfully renewed. The renewal was filed on August 11, 1964, under registration number R342833 by Emka, Ltd. (a subsidiary of MCA/Universal, which acquired Paramount's pre-1950 sound library). Because the renewal was filed correctly within the statutory window, the copyright was extended for a total of 95 years from the date of publication. It is scheduled to remain under copyright protection in the United States until January 1, 2033.
