I know this is off topic, but I have to mention it.  I was just reading
the London Times and they have an article concerning the fact that the
company in Britain that makes Paddington Bear dolls as gone bankrupt.
Therefore, the liscencing agreement means that the rights for the doll
will revert to the American company which previously had limited rights.

Looks like England is losing all of its stuffed bears to the US.
