Tarzan the Tiger

Tarzan the Tiger was a 15-chapter movie serial produced by Universal Pictures and released starting in November 1929. Under the Copyright Act of 1909, works from this era were granted an initial 28-year term of protection, which could be extended for a second term if a renewal was filed with the U.S. Copyright Office during the 28th year of the original term. Research indicates that while the serial was originally registered by Universal (Reg. Nos. LP824, LP832, LP857, LP873, LP886, LP908, LP927, LP945, LP970, LP996, LP1017, LP1036, LP1055, LP1069, LP1089), a search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) reveals no renewal filings for these registrations in 1956 or 1957. As a result of this failure to renew, the film entered the public domain in the United States upon the expiration of its first term in late 1957. The work is widely recognized as public domain by film historians and is frequently distributed by public domain specialists such as Alpha Video and is available on the Internet Archive without restriction.
