5. The Edgar Rice Burroughs Company
Visit the official Edgar Rice Burroughs Company website. There you will find games, toys, artwork, books, films, a weekly magazine, and a host of biographical pages. In 1923, Burroughs became the first American author to incorporate HIMSELF so that he AND HIS HEIRS could control all film, radio, book, serial, and merchandise rights to his work. That means that everything you see on this screen is controlled by the Burroughs family, right down to the Tarzan Bubble gum in the lower left. Today, through worldwide ownership of copyrights and trademarks, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. [oversees] every adaptation of his literary works in film, television, radio publishing, and theatrical stage productions. The company, which licenses the copyrights and trademarks of Mr. Burroughs’ fictional heroes, including Tarzan of the Apes, John Carter of Mars, Carson Napier of Venus, and many more, is owned by his heirs and operates from offices the author built in 1927 on the site of his former Tarzana ranch.
