How long does it take for Video game license to expire?

Let's say company A buys the rights to Company B's game how long does it take before other companies can make a similar game or a sequel to it?

I know with music there is a rolling 100 year licensing rule when everything written 100 years earlier is public domain. Is there anything similar in Video Gaming Industry?How long does it take for Video game license to expire?It is all copyright law, so I would imagine that the same thing stands for video games. I guess no Mario on Playstation for quite a while still.How long does it take for Video game license to expire?It's up to the companies to decide how long their contracts are valid for. Also one company can buy the licensing rights to a video game from another company if they agree to termsHow long does it take for Video game license to expire?Agree above me. But Mario on Ps3 and Xbox 360 would be beast. It would sell like crazy!
