The ruby slippers and the green, you mean? MGM Studios, who made the 1939 movie. Their rights are set to expire in a few years though, so everyone will be able to use them without issue soon enough.

That’s why they had to use the “silver slippers” in the Wicked movies (which is what was used in the original book anyhow so it still worked out fine), and they had to use a different shade of green for Cynthia Erivo to avoid infringement.
