BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 From Chip and Co... Deadmau5 and Disney Settled Their Fight Over the Mouse EarsJune 23, 2015 by Maria Comment Here! You might have heard that Disney was suing Deadmau5 for this use of the Mickey Ears. I am actually surprised that it did not happen sooner. Last year, Disney filed papers at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. They stated that the Deadmau5 design was “nearly identical in appearance, connotation and overall commercial impression to Disney’s Mouse Ears Marks” and would “cause confusion” among consumers. Some people found the lawsuit odd because Deadmau5 has worked with Disney before. So why could they not just talk it out? The details of the case are not made public so we don’t know exactly what the decision entails. We do know there was a withdrawal of Disney’s opposition and any possible amended trademark registrations. In April, the Appeal Board rejected one of Deadmau5’s defenses that Disney couldn’t be harmed from the registration. http://www.chipandco.com/deadmau5-disney-settled-fight-mouse-ears-214625/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 For those who are not familiar with Deadmau5 (pronounced dead mouse). I find the logo rather scary myself and would never confuse it with Mickey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnPKNinEwDI BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks for the link to the video, but is there one of the Dave In Tennessee family dancing to a Dead Mouse song? Seems like it would be a natural fit for DIT. TCD BradyBzLyn...Mo and keith_h 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
