Disney Movie in a Legal Bind with Famous Bikers
The Hells Angels are riding the Disney Corporation, alleging the company infringed their trademark in the development of the upcoming film "Hog Wild."
The New York Times reports:
The complaint stems from the use of the Hells Angels' name and skull logo, which have been the indentifying mark of the group of bikers since their inception in 1948.
Disney denies all allegations.
This isn't the only time the Hells Angels have had to protect their infamous skull logo against unauthorized use.
