Isn’t this why they pivoted to using Steamboat Willie in their pre-roll - to pull it under trademark as copyright expires?
Seems it’ll still be illegal, just for different reasons.
I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they manage to trademark the character, since the mouse is very iconic
I’d say you can count on it.
