Disney has been fighting for years to
protect its intellectual property interests. Perhaps its most memorable effort
to protect the rights to its content and creations was to pursue the Copyright
Term Extension Act of 1998, colloquially referred to as the Mickey Mouse
Protection Act. Disney’s rampant acquisition of other properties, including Star
Wars, Marvel, the Simpsons, and more has brought more characters and more
disputes into the fold. This one-hour CLE will cover basics of copyright
protection, acquisition of copyrights and termination rights of creators through
the lens of recent high-profile disputes concerning Disney’s various
properties.
