Did Shakespeare reuse many non-public characters? I ask because that's where copyright is an impediment to story writing.
That is, Disney can go after me for doing a story with Woody the Cowboy, but not Carl the Cowboy, even if Carl is secretly alive.
However, I heard that Pixar patented putting eyes on the windshield for vehicles that are alive.

Shakespeare reused large portions of the plotlines from contemporary plays. Hamlet and As You Like It are two I can think of. But I think he changed most of the names.
