We consumers get to know these folks a little more by cooking their (spouse's/parent's/press agent's/uncopyrighted cookbook's) meals, and famous people reaffirm their humanity by reminding us that, despite their superhuman skills (or Alexi Lalas–level skills, anyway) they still do human things like make salty casseroles.

376 U.S. 232-33 ("But because of the federal patent laws, a State may not, when the article is unpatented and uncopyrighted, prohibit the copying of the article itself or award damages for such copying. The judgment below did both, and, in so doing, gave Stiffel the equivalent of a patent monopoly on its unpatented lamp. That was error, and Sears is entitled to a judgment in its favor.")

Security cameras, webcams, camera traps and other pre-positioned recording devices capture whatever happens to take place in their field of view. This raises the question whether their recordings are an original and therefore copyrighted work. For example, "[i]f a security camera mounted in a lobby, recording 24 hours a day, captured a dramatic event, the video could be uncopyrighted." To date, this question remains untested in the United States.

The facts in this case are similar to those of Compco v. Day-Brite, discussed earlier in this Article, and under that subsequent Supreme Court precedent this case might require a different judgment. In another New York case, the defendant copied the plaintiff's unpatented, uncopyrighted "Mustard Seed Remembrancer" locket, containing a mustard seed to remind users of the power of "so much faith as a grain of mustard" to move mountains (Matt. 17:20).

Belatedly, the logo was used once on the front artwork of the 1975 original studio album Specs Appeal. As of 2009, the logo still remains untrademarked and uncopyrighted. In lieu of a proper band logo, four silhouettes of the original line-up, in ascending order of height, were used as a pseudo-logo on concert programme covers and artwork projects such as sheet music, EP and album covers. From left to right after the drum- kit were Meehan, Harris, Marvin, and Bruce Welch.

She was a regular on The Jimmy Durante Show and appeared frequently on Bing Crosby's radio shows during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Her relationship with Capitol spanned almost three decades aside from a brief detour (1952–1956) at Decca. For that label, she recorded Black Coffee and had hit singles such as "Lover" and "Mister Wonderful". In 1957, she recorded a popular version of "Fever" by Little Willie John, written by Eddie Cooley and John Davenport, to which she added her uncopyrighted lyrics ("Romeo loved Juliet", "Captain Smith and Pocahontas").

Gibbs, ed., University of Iowa Press, Iowa City, 1990, p. 17, “I had been until then the acknowledged caricaturist of the school … my rival had appeared.” (from McNulty’s uncopyrighted U.N.C. archived typed manuscript with attribution) (While accommodating, McNulty did appear to put some boundaries on his friendship with Shaw. When Shaw suggested that since the pair of school boys couldn’t afford a live nude model with which to gain mastery of their painting of the human figure, they should pose nude for each other for hours daily, so they could become master human figure artist and, thereby, gain great advantage over Dublin’s other aspiring artists, McNulty adamantly and persistently declined.

White Horse Flag as designed by Chrys Fear Plenderleath's sketch of the Cherhill White Horse, 1892 The White Horse Flag was designed in 2006 by Chrys Fear, who asserted that the white horse symbol as found in the context of hillside chalk carvings across the county – most famously the Westbury White Horse and the Cherhill White Horse – was an image of greater cultural connection to Wiltshire. Fear's design incorporated the sketch of the Cherhill White Horse found in William Plenderleath's The White Horses of the West of England published in 1885."Plenderleath's sketches", wiltshirewhitehorses.org.uk. Retrieved on 8 August 2008 Fear's design was never offered to the county's officials for their review and approval, but the campaign aimed for the flag's popular adoption by local people and emphasised its free, public and uncopyrighted status.

In May 1958, Peggy Lee recorded a cover version of the song in Hollywood, which featured significantly rewritten lyrics composed by Lee herself without credit. "Fever" was not included on Lee's album Things Are Swingin' when it was first released in 1959; however it was listed as a bonus track on its 2004 reissue release. The uncopyrighted lyrics by Lee featured historical invocations (including the verses beginning "Romeo loved Juliet," and "Captain Smith and Pocahontas") and are now generally thought of as a standard part of the song; they have been included in most subsequent covers of "Fever". Lee's cover, most likely arranged by the singer herself (despite the official credit to conductor Jack Marshall), was a slower-tempo version than the original; it was described as being in "torchy lounge" mode, accompanied only by bass (played by Joe Mondragon) and a very limited drum set (played in part with fingers by Shelly Manne), while the finger snaps were provided either by the singer herself, by Howard Roberts, the guitarist for the date, who set aside his guitar for this number, or possibly even by the producer, Dave Cavanaugh.
