Deadmau5 is ready to fight Disney over the rights to his head
In news that surprisingly hasn’t happened already, Disney is preparing to take electronic musician Deadmau5 to court over the use of his big mouse head. Back in April, Rolling Stone reported that Deadmau5—whose name is pronounced “ded-mao-five”—tried to trademark his logo for use in “electronic equipment, entertainment services, BMX bikes,” and other things that aren’t as funny as “BMX bikes,” and now Disney has apparently filed an official opposition to that trademark. That means Disney believes Deadmau5’s trademark would infringe on their existing claim to anything and everything vaguely mouse-related, which presumably includes BMX bikes.
