If Dracula is now in public domain, and Universal Studios decides to come out with a new movie by the same name, can Universal prevent a non licensee from coming out with Dracula product at the time of the movie's debut where the non licensee uses graphics from the original book cover? When Mickey Mouse enters the public domain, does a non licensee of Disney have the right to put out lunch boxes and gift bags featuring the name Mickey Mouse?
