Establishing a trademark and copyright enough?

Ever since Disney lost the copyright of the animated short Steamboat Willy to the public domain, it's made me wonder about copyright laws. I heard that Disney still owns the trademark to Mickey Mouse and pretty much all of its characters, so they could get people in trouble for breaking their trademark rights.

With that being said, with your created work, should you get a trademark on top of your copyright? I think I would go that route.

Also, media moves to the public domain after 95 years I think, so even your work will become part of the public domain one day. At least if you live in the US.
