Actually it does. Berkley Breathed found that out when he added “Mortimer Mouse” to his _Outland_ series. Disney had a chat with him, and Mortimer disappeared.
Mortimer Mouse wasn’t a “new” concept.
It was a thinly-disguised jab at Eisner and used a version/mutation of the original “Mortimer Mouse” that was Disney property.
At the time it/he came out, I thought it fell under “fair use” as social commentary, but apparently not. Maybe the use of the name became a direct infringement?
How did the let Tom & Jerry survive?
