June 16 (Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court said 50 Sherlock

Holmes works published before 1923 by Arthur Conan Doyle are in

the public domain, and others may refer freely to them without

paying licensing fees to the Scottish writer’s estate.

the brilliant detective, including references to Holmes, his

sidekick Dr. Watson, his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty, 221B
