: I have a similar question. I am interested in writing a computer game based from a board game. The problem is, the company that created it went out of business and I cannot find any information on it. The company is the Southold Game Corporation. I was wondering if the game is now considered public domain or if there is some way I can find out if anyone owns the rights to it. If you could please email any response to me, thank you.

Dear Mr, Dugas,
The answer includes complexities of facts, copyright, trademark law and might include patent questions. The still may be legal ways around.
