How to Marry a Millionaire

The film was released in 1953 and registered for US copyright by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. on November 4, 1953, under registration number LP3507. Under the US Copyright Act of 1909, works from this era required a renewal in their 28th year to remain protected. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the US Copyright Office records confirms that Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. filed a timely renewal on November 2, 1981, under renewal number RE-103-678. As a result of this valid renewal and the subsequent extensions provided by the Copyright Act of 1976 and the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, the film's copyright is protected for 95 years from the date of publication. It is currently scheduled to enter the public domain in the United States on January 1, 2049. The film remains under active commercial exploitation by The Walt Disney Company (which acquired Fox).
