Blood for Dracula

Blood for Dracula (also known as Andy Warhol's Dracula) is an Italian-French co-production released in 1974. Under the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, works published between 1964 and 1977 are granted automatic renewal in the US, provided they were published with a valid copyright notice or registered within five years. More significantly, as a foreign work, its US copyright status is governed by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). Because the film was still under copyright in its source country (Italy) on the URAA date of January 1, 1996, its US copyright was automatically restored even if it had previously entered the public domain due to notice or registration defects. The film is currently subject to active commercial exploitation and high-profile distribution, which serves as strong evidence of a valid and defended copyright. It has been restored and released on home video by major labels such as The Criterion Collection and more recently Severin Films. The rights are currently held or managed by the estate of Andrew Braunsberg and associated entities. Given the URAA restoration and the clear presence of a professional rightsholder, the film is protected in the United States.
