Here are US trademarks.

The trademark does not stop people from making a cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse, copyright does. We saw this with “Winnie the Pooh”. New horror movie can use the Pooh bear and friends, but can’t use the red shirt as that’s still copyrighted.

Trademark stops people from being able to use the name Mickey Mouse or the stylized type version they trademarked.
