Navy Fights Mickey Mouse for SEALs Trademark

SEAL Team 6 isn’t going down without a fight.

The Navy is challenging Disney’s attempt to trademark the name of the elite squad responsible for taking out the world’s most wanted terrorist.

On May 3, just two days after Usama bin Laden was killed in a raid on the Al Qaeda leader’s Pakistan compound, Disney filed trademark applications to use the name “SEAL Team 6” on everything from entertainment, toys, video games, clothing, footwear — even Christmas ornaments and snow globes.

…Robin Bren, a Virginia-based trademark attorney with the law firm Spivak McClelland Maier & Neustadt, thinks the Patent and Trademark Office would turn down Disney’s trademark attempts.

“In order to overcome the probable refusal, Disney will have to argue that potential customers will not assume a connection with the Navy,” she said, adding that would be difficult in light of the elite squad’s recently acquired celebrity-like status.

Man, I can’t STAND those phoney baloney Disney assholes.

    Hey – is the name “US Congress” copyrighted, by any chance?…

    This could get interesting since the Navy says there is no SEAL Team Six. The mouse would have tried to copyright the name of whom ever did the job be it SEAL Team 6, Force Recon or Delta Force, they’re shameless.

    Walt would never have stood for this. I hate what Disney has become.
