Disney vs Dead Mouse

Yahoo.com has this article about a possible trademark action by Disney against Joel Zimmerman, who goes by the stage name of  Deadmau5 - pronounced "Dead Mouse".  Zimmerman has applied to the Trademark Office for a mark to appear on a wide variety of products, but the mark looks a lot like a certain mouse we all know. 

Disney could potentially argue that the Deadmau5 mark is misleading and will confuse the source of goods and services. Disney has requested and been granted 90 days to investigate the claim and file a notice of opposition.

One of the issues will be whether the consumer could confuse products bearing Mickey's likeness with products carrying the Deadmau5 logo.
