Her published writings http://www.bpotter.com/?v1=BeatrixPotter&v2=Writings The issue of copyright and trademark on her works. http://blog.librarylaw.com/librarylaw/2006/03/the_tale_of_one.html Several of the cover illustrations of these tales, were the object of a trademark dispute in Frederick Warne & Co. v. Book Sales, Inc., 481 F. Supp. 1191 (Southern District of New York, 1979). In this case, "Warne [the publisher] concedes that the seven works [The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Two Bad Mice, The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, and The Tailor of Gloucester] are in the [U.S.] public domain." [emphasis added] ... The University of Virginia's Electronic Text Center places on its Beatrix Potter e-texts a statement that does not mention public domain status in the U.S., but mentions copyright in the European Community: "The use of the works of Beatrix Potter are protected by copyright in some countries, including those of the European Community. In such countries any reproduction or commercial use of the text or images of the works of Beatrix Potter may not be made without the permission of Frederick Warne & Co." Understandably, websites that post public domain materials may not want to state this fact – due to concerns about others' copying their hard work. But for the public domain to remain vibrant, it would be helpful to the public if all were made aware of its use. The text and illustrations of many of Beatrix Potters stories.
