Disney and Deadmau5 Escalate Their U.S. IP Dispute
In April, I reported in The IPKat about how Disney and Canadian DJ Deadmau5 were in a U.S. trademark dispute over Deadmau5’s mouse head logo which Disney claims is confusingly similar to Mickey Mouse. This dispute has since escalated as Disney filed a Notice of Opposition with the USPTO’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to request that Deadmau5’s logo be rejected registration,while Deadmau5 has made counter accusations that Disney infringed one of his songs and a number of his U.S. and international trademark registrations in an online video featuring none other than Mickey Mouse himself.
I provided a full update of this dispute on The IPKat this morning and it is available here. Enjoy!
