Anavanova is running a story that Mickey Mouse may be 700 years old. According to the story, an Austrian art historian has discovered an image that looks suspciously like the Mouse on a 14th-century fresco. As a local official stated, "Our Mickey Mouse is 700 years older than Disney's and we will get it legally examined."

It appears from the article that we have the opinion of art historians, not IP lawyers.
