What next? As a commenter said, the M&M company should be sued for their name choice.

I think the cartoon Mighty Mouse came along way before computers and certainly before some at Man & Machine were born. But I can't agrue with the registration dates for the different uses of the term. Seems like a no brainer, legally. Where were the well-paid and experienced legal staffs of both CBS and Apple.
