Open up your own Popeye's chicken outlet...No Royalty!

Well not a 100% sure the headline is true. Just read that the Popeye character has gone copyright free as of the new year.  You MAY be able to open up a chicken franchise with the character and not pay any royalties. 


According to the author of the article; the copyright is still valid in the USA till 2024, but the EU expiry is now. 


This could be a very interesting business opportunity to create wealth.  It is a world recognizable character for many many years.  Someone could create tshirts, caps, and toys.  

What I think would be a great product and frankly dont know why I have not seen it anywhere....> Popeye branded spinach in the grocery store. 

On a related note, how many of you have seen the Wimpy chain of burgers in London ?   Great idea.   " I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today " he used to say. 

You think Wimpy would have taken longer to pay in this economy ? :)
