Shockproof

The film 'Shockproof', directed by Douglas Sirk and starring Cornel Wilde, was released on January 21, 1949. It was originally registered for copyright by Columbia Pictures Corp. on January 25, 1949, under registration number LP2092. Because it was released in the 1928–1963 window, it required a manual renewal within the 28th year of its first term to remain under protection. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress records confirms that Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. successfully renewed the copyright on January 14, 1977, under renewal number R650630. This renewal extended the protection for a second term of 47 years (later extended further by the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act). As a work for hire published with notice and properly renewed, the film is protected for 95 years from its original publication date. It will not enter the public domain in the United States until January 1, 2025. The film is currently actively managed and has seen recent licensed releases on physical media (e.g., Sony/Columbia's 'Samuel Fuller at Columbia' box set).
