The ISO symbol for first aid, specifically the white cross on a green background, is not copyrighted as it is a standardized symbol defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). However, while the symbol itself is not subject to copyright, its use may be regulated by trademark laws or specific guidelines. Organizations may need to adhere to certain standards when using the symbol to ensure proper representation of first aid services. Always check local regulations for specific usage rights.
No. The concept and the word are too old to be protected, the word is too short to be protected, and the symbol is a work of the government and not subject to protection.
It definitely is NOT. Many companies post images, logos, and stories that are copyrighted. MOST government websites have content that is not copyrighted, some will have content that IS copyrighted, and used with permission of the owner. When reading an article, or viewing images, scroll down- you may see a notice that says something like "All rights reserved" and the c in a circle symbol that means copyrighted- and a date. That is NOT public domain.
