All copyrights and patents have always had a finite term, though the terms for copyrights and patents differ. When terms expire, the work or invention is released into public domain. In most countries, the term for patents is 20 years. A tradmark registration may be renewed and remain in force indefinitely provided the trademark is used, but could otherwise become generic.
