On January 20th Michael’s Estate filed a lawsuit against Howard Mann and his colleagues for violating trademarks, copyright and cyber piracy laws, by using Michael’s name and image without permission.
In a statement released by the estate’s lawyer, Howard Weitzman, they claim: “The Estate had hoped Mann would voluntarily cease his conduct but that was not to be…People who trade off Michael’s personality, copyrights, and trademarks should not be allowed to exploit the legacy of one of the world’s most recognized talents for their own benefit.”
Est. 1998
