Cheyenne Rides Again

The film 'Cheyenne Rides Again' was released on January 7, 1937, and was originally registered for US copyright by Victory Pictures Corporation under entry LP7643. Under the Copyright Act of 1909, works registered between 1928 and 1963 required a renewal filing with the US Copyright Office during the 28th year of their initial term to maintain protection. For this film, the renewal window opened in 1964 and closed at the end of 1965. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database, the Penn Libraries Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) database, and the US Copyright Office online records indicates that no renewal was ever filed for this title. The film appears in the 'Film Superlist: Motion Pictures in the U.S. Public Domain 1894-1939' by D. Richard Baer, which confirms the lack of renewal. As a result of this failure to renew, the copyright expired at the end of its first 28-year term, and the film entered the public domain in the United States on January 1, 1966. The film is currently widely distributed by public domain specialists such as Alpha Video and is available on the Internet Archive without copyright restriction, further validating its status.
