Barry Werbin is quoted and Herrick’s win in federal court in New Jersey is noted in this article. A federal judge in New Jersey granted judgment to our client, the Estate of Michael Arnone, in a case that challenged the registered trademark ownership and rights of our client to use or license the name of The Duprees. The group, one of the world’s leading doo-wop groups, tours to this day and generates royalties. The judgment likely brings to a close the six-year dispute over the rights to the name and rejects the notion that early members of a band can use the group’s name if they leave the band without securing an agreement to the contrary or a license.
