someguy3,

I think Reagan can be summed up as the start of “burn it all down”. He defined the government as the problem and the solution was to demolish it.

someguy3,

Well the copyright expired, that’s why it’s now public domain. But the trademark is still there.

someguy3,

Well the copyright has expired, there’s no defending it afaik. People can use it even if Disney is using it afaik.

Trademark is more like logos. It will be interesting to see what they will try to defend under it.

someguy3,

A trademark (also written trade mark or trade-mark[1]) is a type of intellectual property consisting of a recognizable sign, design, or expression that identifies a product or service from a particular source and distinguishes it from others.[2][3]

I would say an animated intro isn’t a trademark, and even then making a movie with that material isn’t copying someone’s trademark for your trademark. But this could get interesting.

someguy3, (edited )

This is pushing my knowledge but trademark infringement would be if you use their logo as your logo. You can’t mislead people into thinking your product comes from them. That doesn’t mean you can’t ever have public domain things in your product.
