Frank Zappa's widow tries to stop use of husband's name for German music festival
Zut boF
The widow of Frank Zappa is trying to stop a German fan club from
using the legendary musician's name for its annual "Zappanale"
festival.
Gail Zappa says the German-based Arf Society's use of Zappa's name and
an accompanying logo featuring a prominent mustache similar to that
sported by Zappa infringe on trademarks held by the Zappa Family
Trust.
The Arf Society says the trust has known about the society's use of
the name since the festival was first launched in 1998.
A state court in Duesseldof, Germany, began hearing the case on
Wednesday. It says a ruling is not expected for at least another
month.
