ABBA have settled their lawsuit against the UK tribute act ABBA MANIA, who they’d initially targeted last month for trademark infringement.In a suit filed on December 3, the Swedish icons described the cover band’s behaviour as “parasitic and bad-faith”, claiming that ABBA MANIA were intentionally misleading fans into believing they’re endorsed by the real group.

It was said in the lawsuit that ABBA gave ABBA MANIA an opportunity to change their name, but ABBA MANIA refused.As reported by Billboard, the two groups have now reached a formal settlement.

The terms of their accord are unknown to the public, however, with a filing made by ABBA’s attorneys – representing law firm Fross Zelnick Lehrman & Zissu PC – scant on details.

One of the attorneys reportedly confirmed to Billboard that the offending group have agreed to stop using the ABBA name.ABBA MANIA – billed as “the original tribute from London’s West End” – describe their live show as a “highly polished and professional production”.
