After last months run in with Ferrari, it seems like Deadmau5 isn’t quite yet done with legal troubles.
Disney is set to give the Canadian producer some trouble and Joel Zimmerman, better known as Deadmau5, just took to his medium of choice to share this troubling news:

Disney thinks you might confuse an established electronic musician / performer with a cartoon mouse. That's how stupid they think you are.

Deadmau5′s attorney, Dina LaPolt, stated that Deadmau5 already has established the mau5 head trademark in over 30 countries and that Joel is ready to fight back against Disney. On the other hand, Disney claims that granting deadmau5′s trademark would “damage its business in the US and around the world.”
Stay tuned for updates.
