I know of someone who was approached by Disney in the early 1990s to do some kind of design work on their CGI DINOSAUR movie. He declined (their contract would have meant they would own EVERY dinosaur sketch/project he'd EVER done), but later talked to another friend who DID work on the production—and was told why Disney went in on the auction/purchase of the T. rex fossil dubbed "Sue." Disney legal revealed at one meeting they really thought they could somehow trademark and OWN the Latin names of the dinosaur species! So their hubris has no bounds.
