The items listed below are potential copyright violations that claim to be in the public domain due to lack of copyright renewal.
Works first published in the US before 1964 required a renewal to extend their copyright period. If not renewed, the work entered the public domain in the 29th year after publication. This law does not apply to any works published in or after 1964.
Items may also be listed here due to typographical errors in the template {{PD-US-no-renewal}}.
