COMMENT: Characters are important properties in themselves, and can be merchandised in many ways. Publishers who represent the original copyright holders in characters can license the production of dolls, calendars, playing cards, soap, cups, etc., in the form of the characters. Vice versa, a film or TV company which holds the copyright in a screen character, may license a publisher to publish books about the character.
