Conan Doyle Estate

The Conan Doyle Estate manages the rights to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s works, especially Sherlock Holmes. They oversee licensing and protect his intellectual property, ensuring that adaptations, reproductions, and uses of his stories are authorized. The estate’s role is to preserve Doyle’s legacy while balancing public access with the rights of the creator. It often negotiates with filmmakers, publishers, and product developers, and may also promote new projects related to Sherlock Holmes. Essentially, the estate acts as the steward of Doyle’s literary estate, maintaining control over how his characters and stories are used commercially.
