Bad for Each Other

Under the 1909 Copyright Act, works published between 1928 and 1963 required a renewal during the 28th year of their first term to maintain protection. 'Bad for Each Other' was originally registered for copyright by Columbia Pictures Corp. on December 24, 1953, under registration number LP3203. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress CCE (Catalog of Copyright Entries) confirms that Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. filed a timely renewal on March 30, 1981, under renewal registration number RE085959. Because the copyright was properly renewed, the film was granted a second term of 67 years, totaling a 95-year term from its original publication. The film will remain under copyright protection in the United States until the end of 2048. Its current status as a 'protected' work is further evidenced by its inclusion in Sony Pictures' (Columbia's successor) active licensing catalog and recent digital restorations.
