Default Glamour Shots Sues Walt Disney Co. Over Hannah Montana Candy's Name



An Oklahoma company, saying it doesn't want its name associated with candy packaging, has filed a trademark-infringement lawsuit against the Walt Disney Co.

The suit relates to licensed products for Disney's Hannah Montana character.

Glamour Shots Licensing Inc. of Oklahoma City is the franchiser of photo studios in shopping malls throughout the U.S. The company does cosmetic makeovers and photography.

Glamour Shots said the Hannah Montana Disney Glamour Shots Candy infringes its trademarks.

The candy is packaged in a picture frame with a photo of Hannah Montana, the Disney character played by actress Miley Cyrus.

Glamour Shots complained that consumers are likely to think there is an association between itself and the candy product.

"If the quality of a Hannah Montana image of the candy is substandard," Glamour Shots says it would be harmed.

In addition to Disney, Glamour Shots sued Imaginings 3 Inc. of Miles, Ill. Imaginings is a Disney licensee that makes Hannah Montana and Disney Princess candies, and its own products, such as a boxed gummy candy called Box of Boogers.

Glamour Shots asked the court to order the destruction of all candy packaging and promotional materials using the Glamour Shot mark and to order Disney and Imaginings to stop infringing activities.

The photo franchisor also asked for corrective advertising, money damages and attorney fees.

The company seeks to have damages tripled against Disney and Imaginings.
