It was not a thing in the past because Disney could buy politicians to extend patents, so every single time it was coming closer, they just went full lobby mode and got more years into the law. But now they are so broke after so many failures that they didn't even managed to do that.
I think you mean copyrights. Patents still expire in the lifetime of their creator, I think.
This is one of the reasons WD-40 was never patented--and why there are no generics.
A patent would require them to disclose how it's made.
