Wo ist mein Schatz?

The film 'Wo ist mein Schatz?' (English title: 'Where is My Treasure?'), directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Ossi Oswalda, was released in Germany in 1916. According to the United States copyright framework, all works published or distributed anywhere in the world prior to January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain in the United States due to the expiration of their maximum possible copyright term. As a 1916 production, the film's 75-year term (under the 1976 Act) and subsequent 95-year term (under the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act) would have expired by 2012 at the latest, regardless of registration or renewal status. Furthermore, works from this era do not qualify for copyright restoration under the URAA/GATT because they were already in the public domain in the U.S. prior to the 1996 restoration date. Consequently, the film is definitively in the public domain in the United States. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable).
