It appears that Disney is not too fond of Joel Zimmerman’s, aka, deadmau5, mouse logo. As TMZ points out, the mass media corporation has filed a legal claim to block Deadmau5 trademarking his mau5 head logo in the US, claiming the Canadian producer’s logo is too similar to their famous Mickey ears. According to Zimmerman’s attorney, he has applied for it last year and has trademarked the design in over 30 countries including the UK, Japan, and Germany. deadmau5 has also took to Twitter to address the matter:
