https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/mickey/

Summary: On January 1, 2024, Mickey Mouse will enter the public domain, allowing anyone to share, adapt, or remix the iconic character. However, Disney still retains copyright over newer iterations of Mickey and trademarks over Mickey as a brand identifier. The public domain status of Mickey Mouse is highly symbolic, as Disney has both pushed for copyright term extension and relied on the public domain for inspiration in its works.
