Deadmau5 Tells Disney To "Lawyer up"

The Disney corporation and Joel "Deadmau5" Zimmerman have never seen ear-to-ear – and now the company has filed in opposition of the EDM star's trademark logo (a black-and-white replication of his mouse head, worn on-stage for a decade), which they say closely resembles their own, Mickey Mouse-inspired image.

Deadmau5 reported that Disney had filed a lawsuit opposing a trademark for his own "mau5head" logo in the United States, with the company alleging that it looked too similar to its own logo. "Lawyer up, Mickey," he tweeted at the time.

"Our client will not be bullied by Disney and is prepared to fight to protect his rights to his property," Deadmau5's lawyer said in a statement to Rolling Stone.
