What is the name of your state? Oregon
I have a collection of late '60's and early '70's posters, all original. I would like to reproduce some of them for sale. Most have a visable copyright, but a few do not. One set in particular is a silk screen print on paper, with no artist signature, year of make or copyright. It is my impression, this is possibly one of a kind. What are my legal rights to reproduce this set for sale?
Can I reproduce any of these posters without copyright information, (all pre-'80).
Is there a way for me to find out if anyone has established a copyright on these posters since their origination?
Is it possible to get the copyright in my own name if none currently exist on these posters to date?
Other prints have only the name of a lithograph company, does this imply a copyright, or must it be registered?
Is there a timeline for expiration on any of the copyrighted prints or are the copyrights perpetual?
An answer to any or all of my questions would be greatly appreciated, as this has been a query for quite some time.
Thank you.
