Or they could just trademark the damn rodent; those are eternal.

Chinese companies will ignore both copyrights and trademarks as necessary. In my local mall, there is “Niu Ba Lan” sports shoe shop. The shoes have an “N” symbol on them which looks remarkably like a more famous sports shoe logo. There is also a pizza shop which uses the Pizza Hut logo, but which is not a Pizza Hut (Bi Sheng Ke) restaurant.
