Post-punk pioneers Devo say they are suing McDonald’s in the US over a Happy Meal doll that sports the band’s signature red flower pot hat.
The article goes on to say DEVO has a copyright and trademark on the “red flower pot hat.” I was unable to locate a US trademark registration. The US Copyright filings for DEVO were to voluminous to search.
All the articles I read keep referencing a lawsuit but never mention a court so I’ve yet to locate the complaint. If you spot it out there, send me the link.

RE: DEVO TO SUE McDONALDS OVER USE OF ‘POWER DOME’ HAT. I read here about a gag order preventing any more comments by DEVO on the case. That may be why youve found nothing about court. But Id love to know how this turned out.
