Disney goes to battle with Deadmau5 over mouse ears logo
It's going to be Mouse vs. Mau5.
Niagara Falls-born electronic music star Joel Zimmerman, better known as Deadmau5, is locking legal horns with Disney over his famed headgear. The media juggernaut, which also owns the Marvel and Star Wars brands, is attempting to block Zimmerman's efforts to trademark his famous mouse head in the U.S.
According to TMZ, Zimmerman applied through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office last year. He already owns the trademark in 30 other countries, including Japan, Italy and the UK.
The headgear depicts a smiling mouse with large circular ears, which Disney claims is too similar to its iconic Mickey Mouse. Disney filed a 171-page trademark opposition proceeding against Deadmau5 on Tuesday.
