2029 in public domain
{{Short description|Overview of works entering public domain}}
{{more citations needed|date=May 2023}}
When a work's copyright expires, it enters the public domain. Since laws vary globally, the copyright status of some works is not uniform. The following lists include creators whose works entered the public domain in 2029 under the most common copyright regimes.
Entering the public domain in countries with life + 70 years
{{See also|2009 in public domain#Entered the public domain in countries with life + 50 years|label 1=Creators whose works entered the public domain in countries with life + 50 years in 2009}}
Except for Belarus (Life + 50 years) and Spain (which has a copyright term of Life + 80 years for creators that died before 1988), a work enters the public domain in Europe 70 years after the creator's death, if it was published during the creator's lifetime. In addition, several other countries have a limit of 70 years. The list is sorted alphabetically and includes a notable work of the creator.
