Mickey Mouse now apparently owns SEAL Team 6, or at least the name.  Disney has filed  three trademark applications to to claim the rights to the phrase “SEAL Team 6.”   SEAL Team 6 is believed to be the Navy commando squad that killed Osama Bin Laden in the recent raid on his compound.   How can Disney copyright the term “SEAL Team 6?”   “Officially, the team’s name is classified and not available to the public, technically there is no team 6.”

That is no longer the case.  It is now a trademark of the Walt Disney Company.

Disney Trademarks ‘Seal Team 6,’ Name Of Unit That Killed Bin Laden

FishbowlNY uncovered three trademark applications that Disney made in early May to claim the rights to the phrase “SEAL Team 6.” The applications cover “entertainment and education services,” “toys, games and playthings” and “clothing, footwear and headwear.”

It remains to be seen what products will come of these trademarks, but the bin Laden raid video game and pajama set has to be just around the corner.
