This file may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Landing Craft-LCT-726-03-12-1946.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Hello. The image 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. Thomas Farley (talk) 19:41, 12 May 2020 (UTC)Thomas Farley[reply]
