Massacre In Dinosaur Valley

This film (originally titled 'Nudo e selvaggio') is a 1985 Italian-Brazilian co-production distributed in the US during the 'notice window' of the 1976 Copyright Act. Under the law at that time, foreign works published in the US required a valid copyright notice or a timely registration to secure US protection. While no specific US original registration was found for the 1985 release, the film was restored to US copyright protection via the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) in 1996. Under 17 USC §104A, the URAA automatically restored US copyright to foreign works that were still protected in their source country on January 1, 1996, even if they had entered the public domain in the US due to lack of notice or registration. As an Italian/Brazilian production with an original 1985 release, the work was still under its 70-year term of protection in its home countries in 1996. The film is currently actively licensed and exploited in the US by rights holders (such as Severin Films), which supports its status as protected.
