“The granddaughter of the creator of children’s character Winnie the Pooh has failed in an attempt to regain the copyright on stories about the bear. Clare Milne was challenging a series of licensing arrangements in place since the books were created in the 1920s. In 1983 the present owner – the estate of literary agent Stephen Slesinger – signed a deal blocking AA Milne’s family from ever regaining control… Milne died in 1956 but bequeathed the ownership of the copyright to a trust rather than to his family.”
