Prince: Last News

Prince‘s estate is currently locked in a legal battle with an Ohio winery which is selling a “Purple Rain Concord” wine.The late hitmaker’s estate sued L’uva Bella Winery last summer, demanding the cancellation of the ‘Purple Rain’ trademark awarded to the beverage company back in 2019. It argued that a “likelihood of confusion” and “false suggestion of a connection” with Prince were grounds for its petition.In a new filing obtained by Rolling Stone, the winery has put forth a bold new defence, claiming that the late musician’s famed disdain for alcohol means that consumers would never link the singer or his legacy to its product.“To the extent Prince was famous, he was equally famous for his disdain of alcohol,” lawyers for L’uva Bella Winery wrote in a new motion filed with the US Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.“Prince was a teetotaler who despised alcohol,” the filing continues.
