Copyright protection duration varies depending on factors like publication and type of work. For works made after January 1, 1978, copyright typically lasts for the author’s life plus 70 years. Anonymous, pseudonymous, or work-for-hire creations are protected for 95 years after first publication or 120 years after creation, whichever is earlier. Works published pre-1978 have different terms. Consult the Copyright Act (title 17 of the United States Code) for specifics. Additional details are available in Circular 15a, Duration of Copyright, and Circular 1, Copyright Basics.
