English: Illustration and design by Karoly Grosz. Distributed by Universal Pictures."

English: It is unclear whether this design originally included a valid copyright notice, as other original posters for Bride of Frankenstein did. This scan excludes the ordinary margin area where copyright notices are typically found on vintage posters. Regardless, the copyright for the artwork was not renewed, as was required by American copyright law to extend/maintain protection for works published 1963 or earlier. In order to maintain copyright protection, the poster would have had to be renewed 28 years after publication, in either 1962 or 1963 (see the sections for "Artwork: Original registrations and renewals" and refer to the links to search the copyright catalogs for those years). Because it was not renewed, copyright lapsed at that time. Note that the poster art is a distinct work from the film it represents and had to be renewed separately.
