The beloved Broke Hoedown (aka Mrs. Collateral Damage) reports on a story about Disney losing the rights to the slogan “The Place Where Dreams Come True” on the flimsy technicality that someone else had already registered it. That someone was Michael Wightman from Newcastle, in the UK, registered it for his company which makes porn that can be viewed on mobile phones. Ahh, pornographic pictures on the phone — a blessing to optometrists everywhere.
DISNEY NOT ONLY DOESNT HAVE THE TRADEMARK FOR “WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE”, IT ALSO DOESNT HAVE THE TRADEMARKS FOR “THE PLACE WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE OR A PLACE WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE”, THEY ALL BELONG TO THE SAME PERSON, CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF THROUGH THE E.U. TRADEMARK WEB PAGE. WHAT WILL DISNEY DO NOW? WILL THEY CHANGE TO WHAT? THE SEASON STARTS THIS MONTH AND THEY HAVE ALREADY CHANGED THE LOGO ONCE, WILL THEY SCREW UP AGAIN? THEY MUST OF CHECKED OUT THIS TIME THE TRADEMARK, WELL IT DOESN´T REALLY MATTER, THE SHAREHOLDER PAYS ANYWAY! HOW CAN ANYONE NOT DO THIS BASIC BUISNESS HOMEWORK?
