Today I begin a family vacation to Disney World® in Orlando. Of course, I am looking forward to vacation and to watching my children experience Disney World for the first time. But I hope to take some pictures and notes about Disney’s use of intellectual property and trademarks. As of today, Disney owns more than 1,400 registered U.S. trademarks!
