Devo claims McDonald's infringing on signature hat
June 12, 2008
National Nine News: Devo, the post-punk band known for the members' signature red flower pot hat, has announced it is suing McDonald's over a Happy Meal doll with the same hat.
In April, the fast food chain released a series of American Idol Happy Meal toys in the United States based on a range of music genres, including New Wave Nigel, a toy dressed in an orange jumpsuit, pink shades, and Devo's "energy dome" hat.
The band claims the copyrighted hat was used without permission.
