I've heard an argument that a reason why Disney has pushed Steamboat Willie lately (new intro for Disney Animation films, and a lot of merch) is because copyright law works differently from trademark law. They can still claim a trademark even if the copyrighted work is in public domain. I'm not a lawyer, but if that's not all BS, I don't think we have to worry about anything like this anytime soon.

I am a lawyer, and that is correct. You can use old Mickey for general purposes, but not as a mark.
