The Hypnotic Eye

The Hypnotic Eye is a 1960 American horror film produced by Allied Artists. Under the US copyright laws for works published between 1928 and 1963, a film entered the public domain 28 years after publication unless the copyright was formally renewed with the Copyright Office. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress CCE confirms that Allied Artists Pictures Corp. successfully renewed the copyright for this film. The original registration was filed on February 15, 1960 (LP15582), and the renewal was filed on December 21, 1987 (RE362744). Because the renewal was filed within the required 28th-year window, the film is protected for a total term of 95 years from its publication date. The film remains under active commercial exploitation; it has been released on home video by Warner Bros. (the successor to the Allied Artists library) and was recently licensed for a high-definition Blu-ray release by Shout! Factory in 2020. The copyright is currently held by Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., and it will not expire until January 1, 2056. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable).
