Relationship with Peanuts

MetLife has licensed Snoopy and other Peanuts characters for publication through Iconix Brand Group. Which owns the publishing rights to the works of Charles M. Schulz. In 2010, Iconix formed a partnership with Schulz’s estate (since Charles Schulz himself had died in 2000) to acquire E.W. Scripps Co. and United Features Syndicate for $175 million. MetLife reportedly paid Iconix $12 million a year for the licensing rights. Before the Iconix deal, MetLife licensed the icons from other rights holders.
