That said, the trademark is another story entirely. Spain had a "life plus 80" term before it harmonized its copyright laws with the rest of the EU in 1987, but retained "life plus 80" for works by creators who died before 1987. The US didn't switch to "life plus 70" until 1978. While Australia and Canada have since adopted "life plus 70", Australia didn't make its change retroactive, and those works would now be PD in Canada anyway. note Because Australia, and Canada used to use "life plus 50", and NZ still does, Burroughs' works entered the PD there in 2001. Since most countries now have a term of "life plus 70"-i.e., the author's lifespan, plus 70 years-and Burroughs died in 1950, his works entered the PD in Australia, Canada, almost all of the EU, New Zealand, and the UK no later than 2021. All of Burroughs' works are PD almost everywhere else in the world. The complete series is composed of the following novels, the first few of which are Public Domain in the US due to their age (anything published in 1926 or earlier).

In the first novel, A Princess of Mars, John Carter of Virginia somehow mentally projects himself to the dying planet Mars, known to its various native races as "Barsoom", where he has death-defying adventures, romances the eponymous princess, and saves the world. An influential series of Planetary Romance novels, written by Edgar Rice Burroughs (also the creator of the Venus-set Amtor series, the Pellucidar series, and of course Tarzan) between 19, with the final book in the series (a collection of shorter stories) being published posthumously in 1964.
