Beauty's Worth

Beauty's Worth was released in 1922 and stars Marion Davies. Under US copyright law, all works published before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain regardless of whether they were originally registered or renewed. The 95-year copyright term for works published in 1922 expired at the end of 2017. Even prior to the automatic expiration of the maximum term, films from 1922 were required to have a renewal filed in their 28th year to maintain protection into the second term. Records from the Library of Congress and the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database indicate that most Cosmopolitan/Paramount productions of this era were either never renewed or, if they were, those renewals have now lapsed under the 1928 rule. As a 1922 production, the film became public domain in the United States on January 1, 2018.
