This photo, movie, sound recording or work of applied art finished by December 31, 1935 (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days) is public domain both in Brazil and United States because it was first published in Brazil and entered the public domain 60 years after creation. The protection term of 60 years was the effective one, according to art. 45 Lei 5988/1973. It was already public domain when legislation changed in 1998 and remains so according to art 5, XXXVI, Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988. Lei 5988/1973 was also the effective law on the URAA date (January 1, 1996).

This signature is believed to be ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it falls below the required level of originality for copyright protection both in the United States and in the source country (if different). In this case, the source country (e.g. the country of nationality of the signatory) is believed to be Brazil.
