Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California

I don't think your question is going to be intelligible to the average lawyer. What the heck is an AP test? What is a review application?

As a Franchise Attorney I concur with the other attorney. Obviously you understand what "old AP tests" are, but we sure don't. And, what "review application" are you referring to? Repost your question with understandable detail or, if you want to keep this information confidential, consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.

No, you may not use questions from old tests without permission. Such tests are copyrighted and belong to the copyright holder even if they are no longer used. The term of copyright can be up to 120 years for corporate works, as these most likely are.

If you want to use them, your first step would be to request permission from the copyright holder (which should be shown somewhere on the test, probably at the top or in the footer).
