Best Answer

Works created since 1978 (and in the case of 1978-1989 works, published with notice) are protected for the life of the creator plus 70 years; corporate works are protected for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is earlier.

Works published with notice 1923-1977 and renewed are protected for 95 years from publication.
