You’re currently reading “When Do Copyrights Expire?,” one of the entries in the Bright Launch collection of articles and resources.
This blog entry at Patent Pending examines the question of when copyright expire, and includes a chart summarizing the duration of copyright for various works based on their dates of creation:
“When Does a Copyright Expire, So I Can Safely Copy Something? This question is aimed at the duration of copyright. People often want to use a photo or some other copyrighted work, and wonder how they can be sure the copyright has expired. When a copyright expires, material can be lawfully copied.
The current law is that copyright lasts the life of the author plus 70 years. But a copyrighted is subject to the law that is in effect at the time it was created, and the laws have changed over the years.”
