Duration of protection varies from country to country. All members of the World Trade Organization must protect works for a minimum of 50 years after the death of the creator, but some countries (such as the US) have extended this to life plus 70 years.
The timeframe for copyrights varies depending on the type of work. In general, for works created by individuals, the copyright lasts for the author's lifetime plus an additional 70 years. For works created anonymously, under a pseudonym, or for hire, the copyright lasts for 95 years from the year of first publication or 120 years from the year of creation, whichever is shorter. After the copyright expires, the work enters the public domain.
What is your timeframe for making a move?
