Public Domain: Turning Ideas to Dollars
The term “public domain” stems from the word “public.” And
when someone says “public,” what comes up to mind? Of course,
we know already that the word is synonymous to “people” – that
means, everyone.
So when you describe something as public, like when you say
“public domain,” it actually means that that particular domain
belongs to everyone. Ergo, free.
Public domain refers to anything that the people can freely
use. It may refer to areas like community parks, playgrounds,
unprotected natural land or wilderness areas, and buildings and
structures like shopping malls or downtown squares.
As long as any one can stay at a place without fear of being
accused of trespassing or loitering, then that place is
considered public domain.
In addition to places, public domain may also refer to
creative works. In legal parlance, this means intellectual
property, or anything that results from the creative genius of
man. This includes books, movies, art works, paintings, music,
images, photographs, trademarks, and more.
All of this is normally protected by copyright laws, of
course. However, copyright protection is not forever. Because
of this, some people refer to it as “limited monopoly.” For
they expire, too. Or, they were not applied on the particular
body of intellectual property in the first place (i.e., works
that were created before 1989).
Intellectual property that is not covered by copyright laws
belongs to the public domain. Therefore, it is open to everyone
who deems to use it.

About Public Domain

By Attorney
Lloyd J. Jassin
One of the most important
gifts authors and publishers have been given is
the treasure trove of creative works known as
the public domain (“PD”). When a work passes
into the public domain it can be used without
permission or charge because no one owns it.
However, great care must be taken to determine
if a work is truly in the public domain. The
information is this boxed section of the
article addresses recent changes in the law,
and provides information to help readers
negotiate the sometimes daunting public domain
maze.
