It doesn't have as many problems as life. But it still interferes with research. And it means people who grow up with a story can't necessarily share their take on the story. See the licensing issues around Star Wars and Middle Earth role-playing games. A shorter interval, 20 years or less, could reduce those issues.

P.S. And for derivative works after that period, a rule that the authors of the original works can re-use characters, ideas, etc. from any derivative works might also help.
