Yoko Ono Trying To Take Lennon's Name Away

By jason

Yoko Ono filed what is for the most part a law suit with the Trademark and Trial Board of the US Patent & Trademark office this past week. You can read the filing yourself by clicking on the link below. Yoko waited 8 years until 2 days before the statue of limitations ran out to file this complaint. 5 lawyers including 2 trademark experts we have spoken with agree that Yoko has no grounds for these claims and is just trying to push Lennon around and make her spend money she doesn't have. Yoko seeks to gain the rights to the Trademark "LENNON" which Lennon Murphy has owned since 2003. This lady is a scum bag and so is her lawyer Peter Shukat who first became aware of Lennon in 2000 when approached by Arista records for consent by Yoko and the John Lennon estate to release Lennon's debut 5:30 Saturday Morning CD under the name "LENNON." They made no objections at that time, nor did they for the next 8 years. Now everything Lennon has worked for is on the line, if Yoko prevails, Lennon might never be able to tour or release records using the name Lennon.
