: : : My question is Are there any circumstances under which the US law provides protection to a foreign author copyright if its term of protection in the country of origin is over? : : Dear Walter, : : Copyrights are fully national country by country, thus an expiration on one country does not effect the validity in another country. Treaty right may extend from one country to another but that doesn't change the answer. : : M. Arthur Auslander : Does this mean a work created say in the 1920s outside the US, published there, but never published in the US, may still be eligible for US protection? I heard there is a requirement for registration and renewal of its copyright at some certain time? : : Auslander & Thomas-Intellectual Property Law Since 1909 : : 505 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10018 : : 212-594-6900, fax 212-244-0028, aus@auslander.com : : ELAINE's Workshop™ : : E arly L egal A dvice I s N ot E xpensive™ : : M.
