Disney to lose Mickey Mouse?

I assume Disney did not object to anything South Park did.

When I was at Bell Labs the only changes the lawyer made to my papers was to ensure I wrote “UNIX ™ Operating System”, not just UNIX.

Yep! Adjective, not noun or verb.

The YouTube channel LegalEagle has a video discussing the copyright and trademark issue and what Disney is doing to protect their IP (such as using Steamboat Willy as a trademark in front of all animations they make today). Fascinating, if complicated, stuff. Disney certainly will not let go easily and fighting Disney would be very expensive most likely.
