Anonymous documents published in Japan before January 1st, 1946 are in the public domain in the following jurisdictions:
- Japan, where the copyright for an anonymous work expires 50 years after its first publication;[1]
- the European Union, where the "shorter term" rule applies to foreign works, and a foreign document which is already in the public domain in its home country is not protected;[2]
- the United States, where a foreign work already in the public domain in its home country as of January 1st, 1996 is not protected.[3]
Advertising material published by a company follows the same rules as an anonymous document, unless it is explicitly signed by an individual or some individual later claims to be the original author.
- ↑ Copyright law of Japan (from the CRIC website), chapter II, section 4.
