They have a business, the name of which becomes part of the
world's language. I should be so lucky. You couldn't buy that
sort of publicity

Did Disney sue anybody over the use of "mickey mouse" when
applied to 2nd-rate etc ?

I kind of see a little of Google's point. Maybe a tenuous example -
would Hoover like their vacuum cleaner's now generic name
associated with a "hoover" of another company, possibly of lesser
quality
