| As I understand it the Copyright is entirely owned by the originator until 75 years after his demise. You cannot sell the Copyright. You can only assign it or license it. You cannot do either in perpetuity. If an originator is wholly employed, the Copyright might well rest with the employer. I have won several actions in court on this premise. However, an idea is not a work of art so is not subject to Copyright. Take a look at the Copyright Designs & Patents Act (1988). It's on-line.
