: Could any one tell me weather the ying yang or the piece sign have a copyright and if so when? I have no idea where to find something like that. I would really be thankful for the information.

Yin Yang as a well known symbol should be in the public domain. It may be possible that a variety could be registered as a work or art.
Use as a trademark could be registered.

The same would hold true for the peace sign.

The question is too abstract to have a clear answer which may require research.
