Copyright protection for GOKAMI artworks lasts for the life of the creator plus 70 years in most jurisdictions. For works created by GOKAMI as a corporate entity, copyright lasts for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever expires first.
After copyright expires, artworks enter the public domain and can be freely used by anyone. However, GOKAMI artworks are all recent creations and remain under active copyright protection.
