From yahoo.com:

In the latest move in a long struggle with Walt Disney Co. over the rights to A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh, Stephen Slesinger Inc. petitioned the U.S. Patent Office to cancel Disney’s trademark registrations over the 80-year-old bear and his friends.

I don’t think this battle is ever going to end. As long as Disney keeps marketing Pooh on DVDs, apparal, and in theme parks, no one is ever going to disassociate the character from Disney nor is Disney going to let up or give in.
