Creative works from 1928, and sound recordings from 1923 entered the public domain on Jan. 1. They include the first representations of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse from the Disney animated short Steamboat Willie.

Clinical Professor of Law Jennifer Jenkins, director of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain, released her annual list of prominent works and did extensive media interviews leading up to Jan. 1, 2024. Jenkins, who teaches intellectual property, copyright, and trademark law at Duke Law, speaks on the importance of releasing copyrighted works for the public to freely copy, share, and build on, arguing that it gives new life to dormant works and fuels more creativity. Jenkins welcomes media inquiries at jenkins@law.duke.edu.
