OxyKon Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Don’t be fooled by the date – as lighthearted as the headline reads, a curious impending case between two favorite mice has surfaced today. Disney has publicly announced plans to investigate into Deadmau5‘s recently filed trademark registration. Dance music fans have long recognized Joel Zimmerman’s cartoon-like mouse caricature as a signature logo of the producer and his brand, but Disney has taken note of the striking similarities between the Mau5′s design and the likeness of their own Mickey head and requested and received a 90 day investigation period to claim and file notice of opposition.The follow image is Deadmau5′s attempted registration, which, if approved, would cover “electrical and scientific apparatus, vehicles (specifically BMX bikes), paper goods, leather goods, toys and sporting goods, staple foods (like coffee), light beverages and entertainment services.”Compared with Disney’s celebrated figurehead:Disney is currently investigating the trademark request and will release details soon.Source: dancingastronaut.com Quote

Cupe Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 With Samsung and Apple doing the same thing to each other over the smallest shit, this one took it's time showing up. Quote
OxyKon Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah I'm also surprised that this has taken it's time to pop it's head, should've happened years ago Quote
BeatLeSS Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I think it's only because he's put in for it recently that they've had to challenge it? Quote
Cupe Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Yea the patent for the logo design was picked up after a recent submission Quote
AlexJ Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 man disney gunna burn his ass to the ground.black them out and the general shape is very very similar. Quote
Cupe Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 At the very worst his design patent request will be refused.The article sounds as though a journalist has gone a bit overboard. Quote
Kodiak Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I think there are enough differences. Really how different can a mouse head silhouette be? His has much bigger ears. Quote
