A publishing company has hired Mike to write a companion book for a particular text sold to college students. Mike completes the companion book and signs over his copyright to the publisher in 2010. The book is actually published in 2013. The publisher's copyright will expire in 2108, which is 95 years after publication.
The time periods for copyright protection vary. A complicating factor is the time period of copyright protection has changed over the years. Creative works have had their protected period altered as Congress has enacted, revised, and updated US copyright laws.
Since Mike's work is classified as an anonymous/pseudonymous work, it is protected for 95 years from the first publication.
