Alice in Wonderland (legal implications)

The "Alice in Wonderland" legal case refers to a 2011 UK case where a man, Jonathan Lee Riches, created a satirical, fake court document called "In the Matter of Alice in Wonderland." Although inspired by Lewis Carroll’s work, it raised questions about copyright and intellectual property rights, as the character of Alice is considered public domain. Legally, using characters from works whose copyrights have expired or are not owned can be permissible, but creating parody or commentary may still involve copyright considerations. Overall, it highlights the importance of understanding copyright status and fair use in creative references.
