Bon Jovi appears to get sunk to a new low - suing a covers band. A legal letter from the law firm Blakely Sokoloff Taylor & Zafman to the girl group Blonde Jovi has surfaced and states, "It has lately do to our attention that your lot is using the mark and name BLONDE JOVI in association with lively musical performances; more specifically, a Bon Jovi tribute band.
Our investigation also uncovered that you are using BJP`s "Heart and Dagger" Logo trademark prominently on your website. Unfortunately, and scorn the fact that our client appreciates the fear that your band pays tribute to Bon Jovi, as a tribute band, our client nevertheless is charged with the responsibility of enforcing its trademark rights. In this regard, BJP cannot leave your lot to use the target and name BLONDE JOVI (or any other BJP trademarks), as such use creates a likelihood of confusion with our client, and capitalizes on the grace and report of its well-known marks".Is Jon Bon Jovi for actual or does he well and really have his head stuck up his own arse?A girl-group playing in tiny venues who are paying court to their heroes "creates a likelihood of confusion" with one of the biggest rock bands in the world.This is arrogance at its greatest. Bon Jovi should be ashamed of themselves for putting their pitbull lawyers onto a radical who obviously adore the band."In sight of the above, we demand, on behalf of our client, that you and your band immediately (i) cease and desist any and all further use of the sign and name BLONDE JOVI, or any other print or name like to our client`s BON JOVI mark, in any manner".This line cracked me up. "We take no objection to your use of the word BLONDE as tenacious as it is not used in compounding with JOVI".If this is the position of Bon Jovi a stop and desist is definitely in order. Fans should stop and desist listening to their music, stop and desist buying their music and cease and desist going to their concerts.
