Michael Jackson Estate Sues Foundation
October 6th, 2009 by Hannah
Michael Jackson’s estate has recently filed a lawsuit against the Heal the World Foundation. Special Administrators John Branca and John McClain have alleged in the suit that the foundation is using the late singer’s name and likeness without permission. According to documents, the foundation and other related entities have registered 6 trademarks and have applied for 41 additional ones, all suggesting a connection to the King of Pop. The legal papers do acknowledge that Michael founded his own Heal the World Foundation back in 1992 but it has no connection to the defendants. The suit also claims that the defendants cyber-squatted several domain names, all revolving around Michael.
