When it comes to Disney, it must be a childhood memory of many people. Especially the post-90s generation, most of them should have seen the animation produced by Disney? Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh, etc., can be said to have witnessed the growth of children from generation to generation.
Recently, according to foreign media reports, as the 95-year copyright protection period of “Mickey Mouse” approaches, Disney may lose the exclusive copyright of the company’s most representative cartoon characters.

For Disney’s huge entertainment empire, “Mickey Mouse” created by Walt Disney in 1928 has long been synonymous with Disney. With the exclusive IP of Mickey Mouse, Disney has produced a variety of movies and dolls, and gained huge economic effects.
However, under U.S. copyright law, Mickey Mouse is copyrighted for 95 years. That is to say, from 2024, the image of Mickey Mouse will no longer be exclusive to Disney, but will be shared by the whole people.

After that, the image of Mickey Mouse will be able to be freely used by artists for various creations, which has raised concerns among Disney and legal circles.
Disney has previously extended copyrights by revising trademark details. However, relevant people believe that Disney may not be able to successfully obtain the extension of the copyright of Mickey Mouse this time.
