      Then effectively you would be placing Wile E Coyote in the public domain. Anyone could make a movie/merch with him in it and say “No, Thats the public domain Wile E Coyote”

      Good.

      Couldn’t you place the copyright for the work in the public domain without doing the same to the trademark on it? If not then what about having the works licensed under creative commons licensing?

      I don’t buy the dilute the pool agreement. We live in a time of nearly endless media out there for people to consume and blockbusters are still coming put and making money.
