A character that nobody owns anymore, or was never owned in the first place, that everybody wants to take a shot at writing. Under U.S. law, works first published before 1929 are no longer subject to copyright. Before the 1970s, copyright was not automatic in the United States and most other countries, and it was possible for a copyright to lapse if not registered or renewed in a timely manner, so certain later works are public domain as well. In Europe, the rule is that the author has to have been dead for 70 yearsnote with the exception of Spain, which has a copyright term of life plus 80 years for creators that died before 1987. The longest copyright term in the world is that of Mexico, in which since 2003, works do not enter the public domain until the author has been dead for 100 yearsnote which is not retroactive; any author who died before 1952 is already in the public domain. France also has 6 to 8-year copyright extensions for musical works published before 1920 and/or 1947, and a 30-year copyright extension for authors who died while serving during World Wars I and II, such as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Many countries also follow the "rule of the shorter term", where if a work is in the public domain in its country of origin, it is also public domain in the other country. Additionally, the copyright holder may choose to release a work prematurely into the Public Domain. Most notably, the authors only have to be dead for 50 years for their works to enter the public domain in New Zealand—meaning that those of C. S. Lewis and Ian Fleming (died in 1963 and 1964) are no longer under copyright in that country. Canada is a party to a 2018 trade agreement that uses a minimum life-plus-70 term, and accordingly changed its law to that effect in 2022. However, this change was not made retroactive, meaning that the works of any author who died before 1972 (including Lewis and Fleming) are PD in Canada. Mexico is also a party to that agreement, in which its "life plus 100" term is preserved. In Australia, the work of any author who died before 1955 is public domain; the country changed from a "life plus 50" term to "life plus 70" in 2004, but also did not make the change retroactive. Similarly, in Japan, which changed from "life plus 50" to "life plus 70" in 2018 and didn't make this change retroactive, the work of any author who died before 1968 is public domain. Compare Historical Domain Character, which are people from Real Life; and Literary Mash-Ups, in which entire public domain works are... erm, "improved". Also be wary of examples in general found in the wild as, despite all pretenses, many people don't know much about copyright law in general, and those that do, certainly don't know its many intricacies and legal interpretations. Further, copyright holders often give the impression that they have more extensive rights than they really do (for example, implying that an entire series is copyrighted when some of it might be public domain). And indeed, in certain instances, people don't often realize the history of certain characters, resulting in Reality Is Unrealistic. See Santa Claus. Keep in mind that producers may arrange for a license to use the name or likeness of a character even if it's likely to be in the public domain, or even if the use would not normally be considered infringement if it were not. An example regarding trademarks is the agreement between Conan O'Brien's producers and the owner of the Conan the Barbarian literary estate allowing Conan to use his first name as the title of his talk show. TBS apparently thought it prudent to get the agreement even though it's unlikely the literary estate would be so foolhardy as to sue; the defense of even a frivolous lawsuit would run to many times the cost of such an agreement. See also Public Domain Artifact for when this trope is focused on different artifacts and objects also under Public Domain, Landmark of Lore for locations used in a similar way, and Public Domain Canon Welding when this is done with entire settings. |

Gnorm Gnat and most of the Jon comic strips made by Jim Davis, since they were released without a copyright notice, as copyrights were required to be written down on a work prior to 1977. The Jon comics, of course, also include the oldest version of Garfield.note Keep in mind, though, that "Garfield" is trademarked under the use of Paws, Inc. and Paramount Global/Nickelodeon Group. This means that although this Garfield can legally be used within a work of fiction, it cannot be advertised with his name. | |

In addition to his literary version (see the Literature section), the 1925 version of the Phantom of the Opera and related characters. The 1925 film has actually been PD in the US since 1954 because Universal failed to renew the copyright back when that was required. | |

During that same time, Erik Larsen introduced the Golden Age hero Daredevil and his supporting cast, a gang of young boys called The Little Wise Guys, as recurring cast members in The Savage Dragon. His appearance was identical to the Daredevil who appeared in Project Superpowers, but unlike his PS counterpart, who was mute, Daredevil could talk. The PS version also was known as "The Death-Defying 'Devil", presumably to avoid confusion with Marvel Comics' Daredevil. | |

Just as with films (see above), there are many American-produced TV series that have fallen into the public domain. Or, as the case may be, only selected episodes have. Examples include the '50s Dragnet series, Bonanza, many early episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction (most of its first season, in fact), and about a dozen episodes of the Dick Van Dyke Show. In some cases, DVD and VHS releases of these episodes have to be re-edited to remove elements that are still in copyright, such as theme music. | |

Buck Rogers, In the U.S. the original 2 novellas have lapsed into the public domain as their rights had failed to renew back in the 1950s. In the original novellas however he is known as Anthony Rogers with the nickname “Buck� not being introduced until the comic strips release which is still under copyright. |

The original version of Blue Beetle (created for Fox Features Syndicate) is public domain, but subsequent Charlton Comics (and, later DC Comics') revamps are not — they all belong to DC Comics. Furthermore, DC Comics owns the Blue Beetle trademark, which is why AC Comics and Dynamite Entertainment changed their versions' name to avoid litigation. | |

Night of the Living Dead (1968) technically never was properly under U.S. copyright, due to an editing-room flub that removed the film's copyright label along with its original Night of the Flesh-Eaters title. This opened the door for Romero-style zombies to become as much of a stock horror monster as vampires or werewolves. | |

Cthulhu, Herbert West, and many other characters of H.P. Lovecraft. Outside of the United States all his works are public domain, but his later works (after 1929) are in a grey area in the United States, where it's not known for sure if his stories were published with copywrite notice, and if they were whether they were renewed or not.note Lovecraft biographer S. T. Joshi believes that the copyright passed to his aunt upon death, and then to her grandchildren, who did not renew it. For what it's worth, Lovecraft himself was of the mind that anybody who wished to add to his mythos was encouraged to do so, which in part is how his work became so widely known in the first place | |

Jack Staff ran into trouble early on by assuming that the 1950s British comics supervillain the Spider was public domain. He wasn't, but fortunately the rightsholders were amused by the comic and allowed the character to continue to appear as long as he was no longer explicitly named as "the Spider". All the comic's many subsequent revivals of characters from older British comics were Captains Ersatz. | |

The Little Prince is in the public domain in most countries, as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry died in 1944. However, France gave his estate a 30-year extension as the author died in military service. Depending on your source, the book will enter the French public domain in either 2033 or 2045. | |

Much like Oswald, Mickey and Minnie's post-1928 designs (save for that in the unofficial short Mickey Mouse in Vietnam (1969)note The Mad Doctor, while being another short in public domain despite being post-1928, cannot be included as Mickey there has a few aspects of on his design that aren't PD yet (the more recognizable "roundness"), along with Pluto, meaning that only Dr. XXX, the eponymous Mad Doctor, is safe, as mentioned above, obviously due to being unauthorizednote The music is still under copyright save for the ending of the short, which includes Hector Berlioz's "Requiem, Op. 5: Sanctus") and voices are still the copyright of Disney until those copyrights expire 96 years after publication. | |

Darwin's Soldiers author LettuceBacon&Tomato explicitly released every one of his characters except Dr. Shelton into the public domain. This presumably includes Shelton's anti-matter duplicate who possesses all of the original's memories, meaning it'd be quite easy to bypass the actual Shelton's copyright. | |

Popeye: The character of Popeye (though not the films, TV shows, and other media based on him) became public domain in most countries, including almost all of the EU, in 2009, since the original creator, Elzie Segar, died in 1938. Spain had to wait until 2019. Popeye became PD even earlier in Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, and NZ, all of which used "life plus 50" (or, in the case of Mexico, life plus 30). While Australia, Japan, and Mexico later extended their terms, those changes weren't made retroactive; Canada's change to "life plus 70" didn't occur until more than 80 years after Segar's death. However, Popeye remains under copyright in the US. When Popeye first appeared in the Thimble Theatre comic strip (later renamed for Popeye) in January 1929, Segar was employed by the strip's owner, King Features Syndicate. As a result, Popeye is treated as a "work for hire" under US copyright law, and is protected for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter. In turn, this means that the character will not pass into the public domain in the US until (at least) 2025. In addition, Popeye is often the source of Lawyer-Friendly Cameo appearances — thinly-veiled muscular sailors have appeared in both DC and Marvel comics. Ironically, Disney could not clear the rights in time to have Popeye appear in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. This, after they co-produced The Movie of Popeye with Paramount. And while we'll have to wait until next year in 2025 before Popeye goes public domain in the US, all of the original Fleischer cartoon serials have entered the public domain, as well as some of the later Famous Studios shorts. On the other hand, Popeye's love interest Olive Oyl, also created by Segar for Thimble Theatre, entered the public domain in the US in 1995 — 14 years (24 in Spain) before she entered the public domain in Europe. She debuted with the comic strip in December 1919, a little more than 9 years before the Popeye character. Under US copyright law at that time, copyrights lasted a maximum of 75 years, whether or not they were works for hire. Although the US later passed a copyright term extension, it specifically refused to restore copyright for works whose terms had ended. That being said, however, only pre-1929 elements of Olive Oyl are public domain in the US. |

The Phantom of the Opera, as well as the two other sides of his Love Triangle. But tread lightly when adapting him so as to avoid taking too much inspiration from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, which is under copyright worldwide. Or, for that matter, taking too much inspiration from any major adaptation except the 1925 film; all others are under copyright in the US. | |

Babar is in the public domain in most countries except the United States, Peru and Brazil, as author and illustrator Jean de Brunhoff died in 1937. In the latter two countries, the book series will enter the public domain after the last of his sons dies. Eldest son Laurent de Brunhoff took over the series after his father died, and was still alive as of 2024. | |

Fate Series: Starting with Fate/stay night, the series revolves around humans summoning "Heroic Spirits" to act as a type of super-powered Familiar known as "Servants." Sources range from Arthurian Legend (such as King Arthur and Mordred), to Celtic/classical/Aztec/etc. Mythology (such as Cú Chulainn, and Heracles), to characters from more modern fiction (such as Dr. Jekyll and the Phantom of the Opera). | |

Doctor Dolittle: The entire series has been PD in Mexico since 1978, Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand since 1998, and in the EU (except Spain) and UK since 2018, as Hugh Lofting died in 1947. Since the US copyright term of works from Lofting's lifetime is based on the date of publication instead of the creator's lifespan, only the first seven books and the only short story, published between 1920 and 1927, are currently public domain in the US. The last Doctor Dolittle book that included original material wasn't published until 1950 and thus will not enter the US PD until 2046. The final Dolittle book, published in 1952, was a compilation of stories that had been published between 1920 and 1927; the book itself won't be PD until 2048, but since 2023 all of its contents are PD. |

Lord Peter Wimsey: The first novel, Whose Body? (published in 1923), has been in the public domain in Canada, Japan, and New Zealand since 2008 (the original author, Dorothy L. Sayers, died in 1957). As for the US, because Sayers' representatives failed to apply for an extension of copyright, it entered the public domain in 1952.note At that time, the standard copyright term was only 28 years, with an extension to 56 years available if the holder applied for renewal in a timely manner. This renewal requirement no longer exists. However, none of the Wimsey books will be PD in the UK, most of the EU, or Australia until 2028, in Spain until 2038, or in Mexico until 2058. And this applies only to the books Sayers wrote during her life; the modern Wimsey books by the still-living Jill Paton Walsh are decades away from becoming PD anywhere. | |

Fu Manchu: The first three books published prior to 1925 are public domain in the USA; however, some characters are not public domain since they were introduced later, particularly his daughter Fah Lo Suee, who despite being introduced in the third book in 1917 was not named until the fourth book in 1931. This has caused problems for Marvel Comics, who cannot reprint Master of Kung Fu, which uses not only Fu Manchu but other characters from the series. For instance, the martial arts hero Shang-Chi is a Marvel character and the son of Fu Manchu. Many stories refer to Shang's father being a Chinese crime lord but he is never seen or mentioned by name. Also, Fu Manchu is not in the public domain in Europe and the UK (the series' author Sax Rohmer died in 1959), and Alan Moore could not name him in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. However, due to the different copyright terms in Canada, Japan, and New Zealand, the entire Fu Manchu series is PD in all three countries. Similarly, it is strongly intimated in the novelization of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension that Hanoi Xan, the unseen Big Bad who was completely edited out of the movie, is in fact Fu Manchu, but it's never explicitly stated. |

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, as long as only material from the first 22 books of the series (published in 1928 or earlier), plus a few later books whose copyrights were not renewed, is used. (Thankfully, this includes all the Baum books.) The famous ruby slippers date from the 1939 movie and thus have to be licensed from Warner Bros.; the originals in the books are silver. |

Sherlock Holmes illustrates the differences in international copyright law. The first stories have never had copyright in the US. When Star Trek first included them, Paramount almost did get sued because they were still under copyright in the UK. The Conan Doyle estate sent them a Strongly Worded Letter saying they'd have to pay a fee the next time they wanted to use Holmes, so they didn't revisit the character until two seasons later. | |

Peter Pan Except in the United Kingdom, as it is one of the few fictional works to have a (limited) perpetual copyright, owned by the Great Ormond Street Hospital. This was gifted to them by Barrie himself in his will and confirmed by an Act of Parliament. Because of this, Peter Pan will never be in the public domain in the UK for as long as the hospital exists. However, GOSH only has the right to royalties; it does not have creative control over the material, and cannot refuse permission to use it. The play is now PD in the US, but there was a dispute about exactly when. The play was first published in the UK in 1904, but wasn't performed in the US until 1928, which led GOSH to assert that the play didn't enter the US PD until 2024. The hospital acknowledged that the novel, first published in 1911, became PD in the States in 1987. Given that Barrie died in 1937, Peter Pan entered the public domain in Mexico in 1968 (30 years after the creator's death), Australia, Canada, Japan and NZ in 1988 (50 years after), almost all of Europe in 2008 (70 years after), and Spain in 2018 (80 years after). |

God. In fact, all figures from religions that were founded before the 20th century. Still, it would probably be a bad idea to say that God looks shockingly like Morgan Freeman, or George Burns. Others include: Jesus Abraham Adam and Eve The Antichrist Archangel Azrael Archangel Gabriel Archangel Michael Archangel Raphael Archangel Uriel Cain and Abel Enoch Horsemen of the Apocalypse Lilith Metatron The Three Wise Men Satan (aka Lucifer aka The Devil, though some treatments make these more than one character) Nimrod Noah Moses Prester John King David King Solomon Ahura Mazda — a car manufacturer stole his name. The Virgin Mary Christian Patron Saints, for example St. Patrick, St. Valentine, or St. Cuthbertnote Yes, Cuthbert existed before Dungeons & Dragons. The Tarasque from the legend of St. Martha in the Golden Legend.note Again, yes. The Tarasque existed before Dungeons & Dragons.

As for the US, the PD date for works from his lifetime depends on the date of publication. His first novel, This Side of Paradise, went PD in 2016, followed by The Beautiful and Damned as well as his first two short story collections in 2018 and The Great Gatsby in 2021.

Arsène Lupin: Many of his stories are in the public domain in the United States, including the famous "crossovers" with Sherlock Holmes. At the time they were written Doyle put an end to Leblanc's efforts and the detective was forced to match wits with the Gentleman Thief under the pseudonyms "Herlock Sholmes" and "Holmlock Shears". Now that both characters are freely available US publishers tend to publish the stories the way they were intended with the two great literary characters intersecting as worthy opponents. In addition, the anime series Lupin III, which focused on Lupin's grandson, can now be released under its original title outside of Japan; previously, the character was called "Rupan" or "The Wolf" in English-speaking countries. |

Alice and other characters from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. One of Lewis Carroll's minor stories, "What the Tortoise Said to Achilles", written in 1895, was appropriated (with acknowledgment) by Douglas R. Hofstadter as a model for the dialogues in Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. The characters of the Tortoise and Achilles had in turn been suggested by an ancient Greek paradox. |

Likewise, the first nine books plus the first short story collection of Burroughs' most famous creation, Tarzan, are public domain in the United States; however, Disney has tried to claim trademark rights, at least in Denmark. The Burroughs corporation beat them to it. The Burroughs estate also co-owns the copyright in the Disney Tarzan film, explaining why that particular version of the character has made few appearances. | |

Sherlock Holmes. Dr. Watson, too, or we'd have had lawsuits by now. Sherlock Holmes illustrates the differences in international copyright law. The first stories have never had copyright in the US. When Star Trek first included them, Paramount almost did get sued because they were still under copyright in the UK. The Conan Doyle estate sent them a Strongly Worded Letter saying they'd have to pay a fee the next time they wanted to use Holmes, so they didn't revisit the character until two seasons later. There were also issues in the US as well over the copyright status of Sherlock Holmes as a whole, due to the aforementioned few stories still in copyright—the Conan Doyle estate has long argued that as long as these stories are in copyright, so is the entire literary canon of Holmes. This reasoning was struck down by the courts, so Holmes himself was very much in the public domain in the US (and in other countries where the estate's argument doesn't hold legal water) for certain, aside from aspects covered by the few stories that where copyrighted until 2023, which was easily worked around if not ignored entirely. A lawsuit by the Conan Doyle estate over the Enola Holmes films tried to assert that works which depict Holmes as a warmer and more caring person are not in the public domain, as stories depicting Holmes in this fashion apparently only appeared in The Casebook Of Sherlock Holmes — which is, likely not coincidentally, the only volume of Holmes stories which remained under partial US copyright to the estate until 2023. |

Conan the Barbarian has been public domain in the United Kingdom, and almost everywhere in the EU, since January 2007 (70 years after the death of Robert E. Howard). In Spain, with its "life plus 80" term for creators who died before 1987, it became PD in January 2017. In Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand, all the Conan stories published by Howard in his lifetime had been in the public domain since 1987. In the USA, at least two-thirds of the Conan stories actually by Howard (as opposed to posthumous "collaborations" with L. Sprague de Camp and others) are also in the public domain, since the copyrights were not renewed. However, anyone planning on doing their own version of Conan must be careful not to upset the trademark holder, Conan Properties International, which has defended the mark very energetically.note As noted above, ads for Conan O'Brien's new show Conan contain the notice "CONAN is used with the permission of Conan Properties International LLC.". It should also be noted that many other aspects of the Conan setting (e.g. Red Sonja) are not from the original Howard stories and are still under copyright. | |

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse entered the United States public domain on January 1st, 2024, as Steamboat Willie and the silent versions of Plane Crazy and The Gallopin' Gaucho note the copyrights for their audio versions say 1929, so the audio will still be copyrighted until 2025. The story and visuals are the only things in those shorts that are in the Public Domain right now. are now in the public domain. Disney didn't attempt to extend the copyright anymore. Disney still owns the trademark, so while you might be able to use Mickey and Minnie in your own copyrighted work, using them as a trademark that creates customer confusion would get you sued by Disney's lawyers. Best to just call them Mickey and Minnie and use "Mouse" separately instead of their full names (aka their trademarked brand names) just to be on the safe side (you can still say that "Mouse" is the couple's last names, though). Much like Oswald, Mickey and Minnie's post-1928 designs (save for that in the unofficial short Mickey Mouse in Vietnam (1969)note The Mad Doctor, while being another short in public domain despite being post-1928, cannot be included as Mickey there has a few aspects of on his design that aren't PD yet (the more recognizable "roundness"), along with Pluto, meaning that only Dr. XXX, the eponymous Mad Doctor, is safe, as mentioned above, obviously due to being unauthorizednote The music is still under copyright save for the ending of the short, which includes Hector Berlioz's "Requiem, Op. 5: Sanctus") and voices are still the copyright of Disney until those copyrights expire 96 years after publication. |

A lawsuit by the Conan Doyle estate over the Enola Holmes films tried to assert that works which depict Holmes as a warmer and more caring person are not in the public domain, as stories depicting Holmes in this fashion apparently only appeared in The Casebook Of Sherlock Holmes — which is, likely not coincidentally, the only volume of Holmes stories which remained under partial US copyright to the estate until 2023. | |

Felix the Cat is in the public domain, but you can only use elements from his iterations of The Silent Age of Animation and Van Beuren Studios shorts. Elements introduced in later years, such as his Magic Bag of Tricks or the vast majority of his supporting cast will still be copyrighted until those copyrights expire 96 years after publication. You can't also refer to him as "Felix the Cat" as his name is trademarked by DreamWorks Animation/Universal Studios. | |

Winnie the Pooh entered the US public domain in 2022, though the UK will have to wait until at least 2027 (author A. A. Milne died in 1956, while illustrator E.H. Shepard died in 1976). The Disney adaptations are still under copyright until at least 2062. The text has been in the Canadian, Japanese, and New Zealand public domains since 2007. All of Pooh's friends are in the public domain in the US except for Disney's Canon Foreigners Gopher and Lumpy. |

Universal Horror: In addition to his literary version (see the Literature section), the 1925 version of the Phantom of the Opera and related characters. The 1925 film has actually been PD in the US since 1954 because Universal failed to renew the copyright back when that was required. Ditto for The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), right down to Universal failing to renew copyright, meaning that it's been PD in the US since 1952. The Cat and the Canary had also notably lapsed back in 1955 as Universal had failed to renew its rights making it public domain in the US. The Man Who Laughs enters the public domain in 2024 in the US with the titular character having notably served as the visual inspiration for the DC Comics supervillain The Joker. |

It's a Wonderful Life was Vindicated by Cable as a result of falling into public domain. It's a Wonderful Life may technically be in the public domain — but you won't find it on any network other than NBC (or its co-owned cable channels) in the holiday season thanks to the twists in copyright law discovered by Republic Pictures. They currently own copyrights to the score of the movie and have secured the exclusive film rights to its literary basis, "The Greatest Gift" (which has not fallen into the public domain). As a result, Paramount, its successor company, is permitted to control the film as though it was the copyright holder. The only elements of the film that are arguably PD today are the visual images. |

The 1928 version of Pete, seen in both Steamboat Willie and The Gallopin' Gaucho cannot be called "Pete", due to them being considered the same character by Disney only being a thing introduced in the 1930s. You can use the steamboat captain cat character, but he must have a different name then "Pete" or wait until 2026 to call him Pete. | |
