Oregon Duck No Longer Reports To Mickey


The Register Guard is reporting that the Walt Disney Company has concluded the University of Oregon’s costumed Duck is no longer subject to Disney’s trademark on Donald Duck.

Oregon has had a deal with Disney dating back to a handshake between Walt and the university allowing the university to use images similar to Donald Duck as their mascot. Oregon would have to get permission from Disney to use the Duck in any situation not outlined in the original agreement. Now, Disney is saying, the Duck only has to report to the University. The original agreement had also been set so that Disney maintained ownership of the image and the costume itself and Disney could have the costume be destroyed if the contract was canceled.

The licensing agreement will remain in effect for any printed logos for which the university gets 12 percent cut on all sales with Disney getting half of that.
