Cattle Empire

Cattle Empire was released in February 1958 and was originally registered for copyright by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. on February 27, 1958, under registration number LP10243. Because it was published between 1928 and 1963, its copyright status depended on a timely renewal filing with the US Copyright Office during the 28th year of its original term. Research indicates that a renewal was successfully filed by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation on January 29, 1986, under renewal registration number RE0000277890. This renewal extended the film's copyright protection for a total term of 95 years from the original publication date. Consequently, the work remains under copyright protection in the United States and is not scheduled to enter the public domain until January 1, 2054. The film is currently part of the library managed by The Walt Disney Company (via its acquisition of 21st Century Fox), and it has seen modern commercial exploitation, including a high-definition release by Kino Lorber in 2021, further confirming its active protected status.
