Devil Girl from Mars

This is a British science fiction film originally released in the UK in 1954 and subsequently distributed in the US by Spartan Productions. Under the 1909 US Copyright Act, foreign works required a valid US registration and a subsequent renewal 28 years later to maintain US copyright. A search of the U Penn online Catalog of Copyright Entries and the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database shows a valid original US registration (LP4660, filed 1955-03-31) and a valid renewal (RE-128-444) filed on 1982-05-17 by the original claimant, Spartan Productions. Even if the US renewal had been missed, the work would have been subject to URAA/GATT restoration (17 USC § 104A) in 1996, as it was a British work still under copyright in its source country on the restoration date. However, the existing timely renewal makes this point moot. The film is currently under copyright in the US until 95 years after its publication (2049). It is actively exploited by rightsholders and has seen recent licensed home video releases through companies like British Lion and various US distributors.
