E81: Legacy Brands and Your Favorite Characters Hitting Public Domain
Description
On this episode of the NerdBrand podcast, we're discussing Legacy Brands. Some brands have been around for years, others decades, and a few for centuries. Let's discuss a few household names with notable legacies and some that have properties coming into public domain in 2024.
That last comment is a hint that on January 1, 2024, we’ll see the expiration of the copyright for Steamboat Willie — and with it Disney’s claim to the film’s star, Mickey Mouse. The copyrights to Superman, Batman, Disney’s Snow White, and early Looney Tunes characters will also fall into the public domain between 2031 and 2035.
