Are you using 'hold' in a strange sense?
Copyrights registered to a publisher are rare.
Publisher contracts that had the author's copyright licensed for the full legal term are mostly fairly recent. Old style it was only while the book remained in print.
See any book on book publishing contracts pre-1995
