SEAL Team 6 Joins the Fight and Disney Surrenders

Back on May 15th I reported the story that Disney had filed for a trademark on the name "SEAL Team 6" with stated plans to use to trademark for "toys, games, electronics, hand-held electronic games, snow globes and Christmas stockings and ornaments."

Well, the SEALS didn't appreciate Disney's effort and filed a trademark application of their own. Disney quickly surrendered:
Well, that was quick: Mickey Mouse has waved the white flag and surrendered to the real SEAL Team 6.

Disney is withdrawing its applications to trademark the name of the elite Navy squad responsible for killing Usama bin Laden, the Navy said on Wednesday.

"The Navy is committed to fully protecting our trademark rights as it pertains to this matter and will continue to examine all our legal options," Navy spokeswoman Amanda Greenberg told FoxNews.com, adding that the military continues to broaden Navy's existing portfolio.

Disney did not return numerous requests for comment.
They're probably tied up somewhere on a SEAL ship.
