Popular 80s fashion brand, "Members Only," is suing rapper Drake for copyright infringement...
From Complex
According to legal documents obtained by Billboard, the Toronto-born rapper is being sued over merch designs emblazoned with the “Members Only” slogan. The plaintiff is listed as JR Apparel World LLC, a New York-based clothing company that owns the iconic outerwear specialist Members Only.
While JR Apparel doesn’t accuse Drake of selling Members Only knockoffs, it points out that his company, Away From Home Touring Inc., has been selling Members Only-branded tees that violate its trademark rights.
“Away From Home’s use of ‘Members Only’…is likely to cause confusion, mistake, and deception among consumers as to the origin of Away From Home’s infringing T-shirts,” the complaint reads in part. “Away From Home sold…goods bearing the mark ‘Members Only’ that are identical, overlapping, and/or highly similar to the goods that JR Apparel sells bearing its MEMBERS ONLY Marks.”
