Ummm... NO.
Production of Nosferatu began in July of 1921. The film was released on May 4, 1922, less than a year later. Florence Stoker sued the filmmakers AFTER the release, and the case dragged on for years, all the while the film was being shown. She eventually won the case and all prints were ordered to be destroyed.
However, as we know- that didn't happen...
