Olympic rings copyright
editHi Jim, Where and how to the Olympic rings could have a copyright? According to en:Olympic symbols, they were created by Pierre de Coubertin (who died in 1937), and first used in 1914 for the first modern Olympic Games in Athens, so any possible copyright expired long ago. Additionally, I think these rings are too simple to get a copyright in most countries. The "Intellectual property" section mentions a trademark, but not a copyright.

Yann, I did say "... it has expired". The question of whether the rings ever had a copyright is moot, but given the low ToO in France, I'm pretty sure they did. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
