Default Apple cops Mighty Mouse suit

Quote:
Apple and broadcaster CBS are being sued for trademark infringement over the use of the name “Mighty Mouse”.

The company behind the legal action, Man & Machines, contends that it began selling waterproof and chemical-resistant computer mice under the Mighty Mouse brand name in 2004.

This is the year before Apple launched its Mighty Mouse, the company’s first multi-button computer mouse.

CBS owns the trademark rights to yet another Mighty Mouse – this one a 1940s cartoon character.

The Man & Machines suit argues that CBS did not have the rights to license “Mighty Mouse'' to Apple for computer devices because its trademark did not extend to that class of goods.

Well, they probably figured everyone would have forgotten Mighty Mouse by now.

The revival is already in progress. Nickelodeon is working on a CGI movie with a CGI series to follow after the movie. Back in 2001 a "power of cheese" commercial had Mighty Mouse also.

I suspect they won't be generating the CGI on an Apple based system
