Disney and The U.S. Navy Get Into It for Navy SEALS Trademark

Don’t mess with the United States Navy…Even if you’re Disney.

According to E! Online, Disney wanted to trademark ‘Navy SEAL Team 6’ for use in a future war-based television series, and the Navy wasn’t too happy about that…

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Navy responded by filing their own trademark paper for the terms ‘SEAL Team’ and ‘Navy SEALs’, claiming that the phrases denote “membership in an organization of the Department of the Navy that develops and executes military missions involving special operations strategy, doctrine, and tactics.”

Disney officials said they withdrew their trademark paperwork in deference to the Navy.

The Navy SEAL team was credited for killing Osama Bin Laden earlier this month.  Disney handed in the paperwork for their trademark just two days after.
