List of DWU concepts not owned by the BBC

This is a partial list of characters who have appeared in Doctor Who, or any of its licensed spin-offs, where the owner of the character or race is not the BBC.

When a freelance writer writes new Doctor Who stories, they have the option of retaining control of any new characters. Thus, the writer, not the BBC, holds legal rights to the character or race.

This can result in officially-licensed, non-BBC stories, such as the Dalek stories in TV Century 21, the television series K9 or the Faction Paradox book series.
