Disney Trademarks “Seal Team 6″
Can’t believe that they could do that? Maybe you could trademark a specific made-up badge that they designed, but I wouldn’t think they could get the rights to “Seal Team 6”.
Includes snow globes and Christmas stockings??? What no Ramadan whatevers?
They’d better donate a hefty part of the profits to fallen SEALs families.
Disgusting. I wonder if Disney is now owned by the Arabs.
Marketing, they know that someone will make a movie about the raid. They’re jumping the gun to make a buck. Disgusting.
There is a reason why the LAPD, NYPD, etc trademark their names and logos.
This is a perfect illustration of my premise, the Obama administration shouldn’t be blabbering all over the world about the end of UBL. In fact they should be very, very quiet about it. Oliver North said UBL should have just disappeared. Taken by persons unknown to a place unknown and sweated day and night for decades to pry every scrap of information from his brain. When that was done he should have been tried before a secret military commission, found guilty, hanged then dumped in the sea. The only thing I would add to that is to not dump him at sea but grind his ass up and feed him to the hogs. Video it and put it on Youtube. But that’s just me.
I do have to admire the greed had chutzpah of Disney Company. Realize though, anyone could have done this and the first to do it would own it. I can’t see me stooping that low to make several million dollars. Yeah I can.
I can see lots and lots of military related things trademarked by their rightful owners over the next few months.
We should boycott Disney Company to force them to relinquish this trademark to some appropriate SEAL organization.
This is just an application though right? I mean for all we know they are gonna be told to pound sand, like many other people have for trying to trademark something that is either in common use or actually belongs to somebody else.
Donald Trump IIRC actually tried to trademark the words “You’re Fired” at one point and was told no.
Ever since Aladdin I have had my suspicions.
:sarcastic:
I’m only dumbfounded, by the fact Surefire didn’t trademark it first… 
If they would have stuck with Cat Shit One Disney wouldn’t have touched it! :sarcastic:
I smell a sequel with Packy and Botasky givin’ Bin Laden the double tap.
disgusting. my wife actually got pissed that disney did that.
anyways, maybe they’ll revamp the ‘pirates of the carribean’ ride and give it a more modern look with SEALs taking down pirates and terrorists.
guys you cant trademark somthing that does not exsist. That would lead to all sorts of questions.
???
You can apply for a registered trademark for any sort of phrase you want as long as you are using it in public trade. You can in fact apply the letters “tm” to anything you use in public trade without registering it. Of course, you need to be able to defend it if challenged.
True. Take a look sometime, at who OWNS the trademark - and gets ROYALTIES - for the phrase, “Three-peat.” You WILL be surprised… :eek:
America: Two Steps forward, one step back:
Are you F-ING kidding me!!! Is it even possible for some greedy corporate dink to even consider how that looks?
Not a game, not a movie, not an opportunity for profit. Disney officially boycotted by me. Please pass around, and support a boycott.
Corps like that only listen if it hurts their bottom line.
All I am saying is you cant trade mark something that is supposed to be a secret and maintain anonymity of any sort. Deny deny deny
It’s a joke. Team 6 ‘doesn’t officially exist’.
How long til Disney gloms onto “DevGru”.
my comment was a joke yes
And in another shining example, otherwise-would-be conservatives go full libtard when the subject matter is about something they don’t like. :rolleyes:
Did they trademark the proper name? Is SEAL or Seal the proper term? There could be a legal issue if they were issued the trademark and tried to sue if use in a different way.
That actually could be awesome … Squadron sponsorship!
All they have to do is wear a Disney patch into combat and they get millions to do their job, finally bridging the gap between professional athletes and professional soldiers.
It could be the beginning of guys finally getting paid what they deserve.
Think about the TV commercial possibilities:
“Seal Team 6 – You just killed Osama Bin Laden! What are you going to do next!”
“We’re off to Disney World!”
WTF? Do you see everything thru a political prism?
