Well just looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently, in the US anyway, work for hire attracts a special copyright duration of 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever comes first. In the EU it's just 70 years after the death of the author or last surviving author(s). If the author is unknown then it's 70 years after publication. If it was never published then 70 years after creation.
