Branding is in the realm of trademark, not copyright. This was a copyright lawsuit, so branding has nothing to do with it.

If Disney finally loses copyright of Steamboat Willie, you will still not be able to use the trademarked Disney Ears. (The one that's three circles.)

This was a copyright, trademark, and breach of contract lawsuit, not only a copyright lawsuit.
