Disney and deadmau5 have resolved their trademark dispute
After nine months of legal wrangling and the occasional Twitter sniping, deadmau5 and Disney are on good terms again. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the electronic music titan (real name Joel Zimmerman) and the entertainment giant have settled their dispute over the use of deadmau5's famous mouse head, a staple in record artwork and live performances that resembles Mickey Mouse's iconic silhouette. When deadmau5 attempted to trademark the logo in the US last September — he already holds the trademark in over 30 countries — Disney filed to block the application, claiming that deadmau5's design was "nearly identical in appearance, connotation, and overall commercial impression to Disney’s Mouse Ears Marks."
