This undated photo shows Leslie Klinger at his Los Angeles office. Klinger teaches a UCLA Extension class about Sherlock Holmes and is challenging the Conan Doyle Estate, LTD over the right to use the Sherlock Holmes character in new tales. A federal judge in Chicago has said that now that copyright protections have expired on nearly all of Doyle’s tales about the pipe-puffing detective, writers are free to depict the character in new mysteries without seeking permission or paying license fees so long as they don’t stray into territory covered in the 10 stories still protected by copyright. The Doyle estate is considering an appeal this month. (AP Photo/Daily Bruin, Felicia Ramirez)
