I think you&#x27;re incorrect. It will mean more entities will be able to freely create properties based on Winnie the Pooh, instead of just one. For example, right now the board game industry is getting floooooded with Cthulhu themed games, since it&#x27;s now in the public domain, to the point where the publisher for the game Smash Up made &quot;The Obligatory Cthulhu Expansion&quot;. It&#x27;s almost as prevalent as the generic &quot;Zombies&quot; theme right now.<p>I can imagine, at least in the board game arena, that there would be several Winnie the Pooh themed games. I can think of at least one Alice in Wonderland themed game off the top of my head, called Parade.<p>Now will third parties choke the market with merchandise like Disney likes to do? Probably not, but Winnie the Pooh will have longevity beyond Disney&#x27;s ironclad grip of its copyright.
