You might try the US Copyright Office. They have search capabilities of their records. (I'm not sure whether there is a cost associated with that search or not).

Dude, it's the government. I think they get paid by the word. I try to stay away from copyright and patent searches, it makes my head hurt. I did find out that no one has patented the anti-microwave oven though so I got that one down.

Try and put in the word Disney. They own everything.
