Disney apply first, but Navy apply so Disney BACKOFF (Navy is real owner so don't fight)

 ​The Navy already has its own trademark for the word “SEAL,” but just days after Disney's application was submitted, the Navy filed its own application with the USPTO. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Navy's application included a trademark request for “‘SEAL Team' posters and clothing, as well as [other] ‘Navy SEAL' goods and services, identifying the Navy squad as an organization.”

Perhaps due to Disney's timing of this particular application or because of the widespread discussion about the subject, Disney withdrew its trademark application “out of deference to the Navy.” This most likely means a “SEAL Team 6” blockbuster won't be hitting theaters anytime soon. (Which, as one blogger noted, will mean we won't get acquainted with the villian “Osama Fin Laden.”)
