Why this status applies

The film 'For Any Emergency' was produced by the Industrial Film Guild and released in 1974. Under the US Copyright Act of 1909 as amended by the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, works published between January 1, 1964, and December 31, 1977, were granted automatic renewal. This means that as long as the work was published with a valid copyright notice, the second term of copyright was secured without the need for a renewal filing with the Copyright Office. A search of the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) and the US Copyright Office online records identifies a valid original registration for this title (Reg No: LP44101). The registration was filed on December 3, 1974, by the Industrial Film Guild. Because the film falls within the 1964–1977 window, it is currently protected under the 95-year term for works-for-hire, slated to expire in 2069 (1974 + 95 years).
