think about Mickey Mouse. It's STILL in active use by Disney. I feel like it SHOULD still be protected, even though its' been 75 years.

What about the Coca Cola Brand and Logo? It's also more than 100 years old. Can I start a 1:1 copycat, including logo and name?

It should probably be related to ACTIVE USAGE, not first mention.

Coca Cola's brand and logo are trademarks, not copyrights btw.
