  • How to check whether an IP has entered the public domain?

    Is there a way to check whether the copyright has lapsed on some IP?

    And, btw, supposing it hasn't, what's the rule on writing specs tied to IP's you don't have the rights to?

    in the US . . . it depends

    UK and Europe have different limits (which is why some Sherlock Holmes stories can still be public domain in one country but not in the US)
