- Public Domainsearch for term
- Works in the public domain are not protected by copyright, and can be reproduced or adapted freely, without fear of infringement legal action. Information in the public domain includes the text published on government websites, and creations specially designated by its producers as unprotected and up for grabs, as well as other data. Information can enter the public domain if its intellectual property rights (its copyright or trademark) have expired or if the intellectual property rights have been forfeited by the owner. The English language is legally in the public domain, for example. Public domain is essentially the opposite of private ownership.
