  • The Adventure of the Shrinking Public Domain
    ROSENBLATT_FINAL (DO NOT DELETE) 2/12/2015 1:10 PM THE ADVENTURE OF THE SHRINKING PUBLIC DOMAIN ELIZABETH L. ROSENBLATT* Several scholars have explored the boundaries of intellectual property protection for literary characters. Using as a case study the history of intellectual property treatment of Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional character Sherlock Holmes, this Article builds on that scholarship, with special attention to characters that appear in multiple works over time, and to the influences of formal and informal law on the entry of literary characters into the public domain. While copyright protects works of authorship only for a limited time, copyright holders have sought to slow the entry of characters into the public domain, relying on trademark law, risk aversion, uncertainty aversion, legal ambiguity, and other formal and informal mechanisms to control the use of such characters long after copyright protection has arguably expired. This raises questions regarding the true boundaries of the public domain and the effects of non-copyright influences in restricting cultural expression. This Article addresses these questions and suggests an examination and reinterpretation of current copyright and trademark doctrine to protect the public domain from formal and informal encroachment. * Associate Professor and Director, Center for Intellectual Property Law, Whittier Law School. The author is Legal Chair of the Organization for Transformative Works, a lifelong Sherlock Holmes enthusiast, and a pro bono consultant on behalf of Leslie Klinger in litigation discussed in this Article. I would like to thank Leslie Klinger, Jonathan Kirsch, Hayley Hughes, Hon. Andrew Peck, and Albert and Julia Rosenblatt for their contributions to the historical research contained in this Article.

  • Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No
    Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No. 005 History Before the adoption of the Constitution of 1818, Connecticut governed itself by the Fundamental Orders (1639) and the Colonial Charter (1662). From 1776 to 1818, the provisions of the Charter remained in force except for the elimination of the words “Crown” and “Parliament.” The Orders and the Charter created the office of the governor, but did not make it an independent executive department. Except when exercising powers in wartime as “Captain-General” of the militia, the governor did not enjoy the powers granted late twentieth-century Connecticut governors. He presided over the General Court, later known as the General Assembly, and could vote only in cases of ties. Under the Charter, he sat as part of the Council, the colonial upper house. The governor could also convene the legislature for special business. In neither government was the governor an independent executive. His influence depended on his political skills. The State’s first written constitution of 1818 created three independent branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judicial. It “vested” the “supreme executive power” in the office of the governor.1 Another clause further mandated that the chief executive “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Only white men who were electors and had reached the age of thirty years were eligible for the office of governor. Annually in April all the qualified white electors in each town cast votes for gubernatorial candidates.2 On the first day of the May session of the legislature, the two houses examined the canvass reports and chose the governor.

  • The Wicked Beginnings of a Baker Street Classic!
    The Wicked Beginnings of a Baker Street Classic! by Ray Betzner From The Baker Street Journal Vol. 57, No. 1 (Spring 2007), pp. 18 - 27. www.BakerStreetJournal.com The Baker Street Journal continues to be the leading Sherlockian publication since its founding in 1946 by Edgar W. Smith. With both serious scholarship and articles that “play the game,” the Journal is essential reading for anyone interested in Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and a world where it is always 1895. www.BakerStreetJournal.com THE WICKED BEGINNINGS OF A BAKER STREET CLASSIC! by RAY BETZNER In the early 1930s, when pulps were the guilty pleasures of the American maga- zine business, Real Detective was just another bedsheet promising sex, sin, and sensationalism for a mere two bits. With a color cover that featured a sultry moll, a gun-toting cop, or a sneering mobster, it assured the reader that when he got the magazine back to his garage or basement, he would be entertained by the kind of delights not found in The Bookman or The Atlantic Monthly. And yet, for a moment in December 1932, a single article featuring the world’s first consulting detective elevated the standards of Real Detective to something approaching respectability. Starting on page 50, between “Manhattan News Flash” (featuring the kidnapping of little John Arthur Russell) and “Rah! Rah! Rah! Rotgut and Rotters of the ’32 Campus” (by Densmore Dugan ’33) is a three-quarter-page illustration by Frederic Dorr Steele showing Sherlock Holmes in his dressing gown, standing beneath the headline: “Mr. Holmes of Baker Street: The Discovery of the Great Detective’s Home in London.” Com- pared with “I am a ‘Slave!’ The Tragic Confession of a Girl who ‘Went Wrong,’” the revelations behind an actual identification for 221B seems posi- tively quaint.

  • I. ALL ABOARD the BECKY THATCHER Homas and Li-Ming Were
    I. ALL ABOARD THE BECKY THATCHER Written by Yelizaveta Renfro and illustrated by Kearen Enright homas and Li-Ming were both eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of Gillette Castle. T The 11-year-olds were sitting together aboard the riverboat Becky Thatcher along with the nineteen other students in Mr. Espinoza’s sixth grade class. The group had just embarked from Deep River Landing to study the Connecticut River. But Li-Ming and Thomas, best friends since kindergarten, had their eyes on the land to the right—or starboard—side of the boat and were scanning the yellow, scarlet, and russet foliage for the silhouette of a rough stone castle. Perched on a stool, facing them, was their guide, a white-haired man named Norm who was speaking into a microphone. He knew the landmarks so well that he could point to them without looking. Li-Ming and Thomas were supposed to be taking notes, and they were aware of Mr. Espinoza standing behind them, keeping his sharp eyes on the class. But what Mr. Espinoza couldn’t see was what Li-Ming and Thomas had written—or rather drawn—in their notebooks. Thomas glanced over at Li-Ming’s sketch of a castle, complete with detailed blueprints of rooms, and then back at his own drawing of a deerstalker hat and pipe. “In a minute, if you look two hundred feet up on the ridge to the right, you’ll spot Gillette Castle,” Norm finally said. Thomas and Li-Ming strained forward, waiting. “Who can tell me who William Gillette was?” Norm continued.
