Quote - Can copyrights, trademarks and patents be inherited through wills?
The main difference between Copyrights and the other two is that the death of the creator starts the clock on the remaining time (something like 70 years) that the Estate has to exploit them before the work enters into the Public Domain.
I supsect that the only thing that can't be transferred is the Moral Rights (e.g. the right to be identified as the creator of the work).
