Yoko Use Singer Over Use of Lennon

By Mark VB Partridge

ADVERTISEMENTS
John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has sued singer Lennon Murphy over the name LENNON.  John Lennon's son Julian sides with Lennon Murphy.

This case poses the often challenging questions: Does a person have a right to use their own name as a trademark if it is confusingly similar to another's name or mark?  And who has standing to complain?

Could Harrison Ford use his own last name as a brand for automobiles?

Could my Scottish friend Charters McDonald Brown open McDonald's restaurants selling McHaggis dinners?

More on LENNON available here.
