Mickey Mouse isn't patented, he's copyrighted. When copyrights were invented, the idea was that the copyright holder, a human being, would die, his family would have the copyright for a while, and then that would lapse and whatever his artistic or literary creation was would belong to the public, as a lot of classical and old artworks do today.

Then corporations were granted the legal status of human beings. They live forever, and so do their copyrights!
