BACKGROUND TO OWNERSHIP OF THE SCRAT/SQRAT TRADEMARK
20th Century Fox abandoned all their Scrat Trademarks on Mar 11, 2020 leaving Disney owning none. Ivy Silberstein was the first party to apply for the Sqrat Trademark on June 7, 1999. Fox did not file for their Scrat Trademarks until April 2009 which was Seven years after the first Ice Age movie was released. March 15, 2022 was the 20th Anniversary of the Ice Age Movie Franchise. 20th Century Fox applied for 26 Scrat Trademarks over the last 20 years but all have been abandoned while the Silberstein Trademarks preceded to registration. "After Fox/ Walt Disney abandoned all Scrat, my Trademark Attorney David Einhorn wrote to me, "We Won!"-- Ivy "Supersonic" Silberstein
Disney Owns NO Scrat Trademarks. Notwithstanding the lack of any Trademark rights to Scrat, Disney is releasing 6 Scrat Shorts, "Scrat Tales'' introducing a new Cartoon Character, Baby Scrat, April 13, 2022 on Disney Plus.
THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
A March 5, 2020 Settlement was executed between 20th Century Fox & Ivy Silberstein regarding the Trademark rights to Scrat/Sqrat. As a result of Fox abandoning their opposition to Silberstein’s Sqrat Trademark, Silberstein was granted her Sqrat Trademark registration on the principal register on July 7, 2020.
On January 28, 2022 Disney released Ice Age 6, The Adventures of Buck Wild without Scrat and March 25, 2022 in the UK on Disney + without Scrat. Press around the world went wild. 500 articles published on the worldwide web crediting Ivy Silberstein as the Original Creator of Ice Age Scrat. Headlines read "Ivy Beat Disney." Not surprisingly given the questions surrounding the creation of Scrat, there were NO public celebrations for the 20th Anniversary of Ice Age Scrat. NO press release, NO media coverage, only radio silence.
AWARD OF THE SILBERSTEIN / DISNEY COPYRIGHT

March 30, 2022 Insider reported New Yorker Magazine Cartoonist Mort Gerberg in his court testimony explained that the Ice Age Scrat drawn by New Yorker Magazine cover artist Peter de Seve used Silberstein's Sqrat as a base.

THE TRUE ORIGINS OF SQRAT
May 18, 1999, NYC fashion designer Ivy Silberstein a/k/a Ivy Supersonic, best known for her creation of the iconic pink feathered hat Pamela Anderson wore hosting the MTV Awards on September 9, 1999, was walking through Madison Square Park when she spied a new hybrid rodent part squirrel part rat. The first person Ivy called was her boyfriend Mike Anderson at Fox Family Saban & The Power Rangers. Anderson's interview at The Human Interest Story. First Sqrat was drawn May 19, 1999 at The Art Asylum, 325 Gold Street, Brooklyn.
LONG BEFORE THE ICE AGE MOVIE RELEASE
Ivy Supersonic coined “Sqrat” on CNN World News, segment titled, "Move Over Mickey Here Comes Sqrat." Her interview with Jeanne Moos aired February 28, 2000, 2 years before 20th Century Fox released the Ice Age movie featuring Scrat. On February 29, 2000, CNN story "Sqrats Invade Central Park," was video of the day and CNN's movie of the week. Further nationwide reporting on March 5, 2000, CNN "Mysterious Sqrat Invades NY," syndicated 7 days in a row, aired 145 times on all news networks, ran at 45 National Airports, and on all Continental Airlines in-flight (both International and domestic.) Syndication at www.Scrat.world Watch CNN at www.TheOriginalScrat.com. The fascination with the Sqrat/Scrat controversy continues 22 years later, in 2022, the stories, 5 links, are still on the CNN website.
THE SCRAT/SQRAT CONTROVERSY CONTINUES
April 17, 2000, following the airing of the CNN segment, Ivy's father Jerome D. Silberstein (owner of NY Law Firm Silberstein, Awad & Miklos) was working on a Sqrat cartoon deal with Ivy's boyfriend's boss Michael Madnick. See www.JeromeDSilberstein.com. Thereafter, on December 12, 2000, Ivy Supersonic & Sqrat along with actress Kali Hawk (star of "50 Shades of Black" and "Couples Retreat") were on Howard Stern's Christmas Special ("The Lighting of The Teeth," Full Episode with Snoop Dogg, Evan Metropoulos & The Amazing Kreskin). The "Lighting of The Teeth" episode with Sqrat has aired every Christmas for 22 years since. 8 years later, in August 2008, a monetary settlement agreement was proposed between Ivy Silberstein, 20th Century Fox & Blue Sky Studios. About the same time, Michael Madnick was promoted to VP of 20th Century Fox (working with writers of Ice Age and producers at Blue Sky Studios). Out of the blue, on November 20, 2009, Fox Family writer for the Ice Age Movie, Michael J. Wilson, credits his 3-year-old daughter Flora for naming Scrat, read www.IceAgeMovieScrat.com
