NB: This photo was created by the Leznor Art Studio in Luzon in the Philippines on March 12, 1946. It is clearly stated at the bottom of the photo. This was a three months before the Philippines gained sovereignty from the U.S. It has no copyright notice and hence is in the public domain. Here are my sources: The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines says that: “Act No. 3134, entitled, ‘An Act to Protect Intellectual Property’ was passed in 1924, making it the main intellectual property law in effect until after Philippine independence from the US in 1945. Act. No. 3134 was based on the U.S. Copyright Law of 1909.” https://www.ipophil.gov.ph/news/the-intellectual-property-system-a-brief-history/ (My note: US control over Philippine law actually ended on July 4, 1946, [when] [T]he Philippines was officially recognized by the United States as an independent nation through the Treaty of Manila, during the presidency of Manuel Roxas.”[8]) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines#American_rule_(1898–1946) “As a newly independent state, the Philippines enacted two laws strengthening the IP system in: Republic Act 165 and Republic Act 166, establishing a patent office and allowing for registration and protection of trademarks, trade names, and service marks respectively, in 1947.” So, what was the copyright law in effect in 1909? The 1909 Copyright Act according to Wikipedia: Under the 1909 Act, federal statutory copyright protection attached to original works only when those works were 1) published and 2) had a notice of copyright affixed. Thus, state copyright law governed protection for unpublished works, but published works, whether containing a notice of copyright or not, were governed exclusively by federal law. If no notice of copyright was affixed to a work and the work was "published" in a legal sense, the 1909 Act provided no copyright protection and the work became part of the public domain. In the report submitted by the House Committee on Patents, they designed the copyright law "not primarily for the benefit of the author, but primarily for the benefit of the public."[3] The photo has no copyright notice, consequently, it is in the public domain. |
