Caged

The film 'Caged' was released by Warner Bros. in May 1950. Under the US Copyright Act of 1909, works from this era required a copyright renewal in their 28th year to avoid falling into the public domain. This film was originally registered with the US Copyright Office on May 22, 1950, under registration number LP118. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress records confirms that Warner Bros. filed a timely renewal for the film on October 14, 1977, under renewal number RE000000045. This renewal extended the copyright for a second term, and the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act further extended it to a total of 95 years from the date of publication. Consequently, the film remains under copyright in the United States until 2046. The film's status is further reinforced by its active commercial exploitation, including its inclusion in the Warner Archive Collection and frequent licensing for television and digital platforms by Warner Bros. Discovery.
