Since 1874
The Dewey Decimal System was created and copyrighted in 1874. That copyright is apparently still in effect today. Who says public domain is dead?
"Who knew that someone owned the Dewey Decimal System? Apparently not the owners of the Library Hotel, nestled in the shadow of the New York Public Library. Now the boutique hotel, which numbers its guest rooms and stocks them with books according to Melvil Dewey's century-old library classification system, is being sued for using it."
