Why this status applies
The film 'Harriet Craig' was released in 1950 by Columbia Pictures. Under the 1909 Copyright Act, works published between 1928 and 1963 required a renewal filing with the US Copyright Office during the 28th year of their first term to maintain protection for a total of 95 years. Failure to renew would result in the work entering the public domain.
A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries confirms that Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. filed a valid renewal for this motion picture. The registration was originally filed on October 24, 1950 (LP451), and the renewal was filed on December 1, 1977 (R677761). Because the renewal was properly filed, the film remains under copyright protection in the United States until 95 years after its publication date, which will be January 1, 2046.
