This Bear’s For You! (Or, Is It?): Can Companies Use Copyright and Trademark To Claim Rights to Public Domain Works? by Jennifer Jenkins, Director of Duke’s Center for the Study of the Public Domain
Part of the 2022 "Public Domain Day" series at the Center for the Study of Public Domain.

As a bonus, there is also discussion of Sherlock Holmes.
