What will happen when someone writes a website called "This Disney character does not exist"?
That they may have to take the "Disney" trademark out of the name.
Just need to reword it a bit, "This Disney character doesn't exist" can also be "This is not a Disney character (because it doesn't exist)". Sums up the assertion being made well too. Not a Disney character. Except their lawyers may disagree.
