Bob Marley's widow Rita settled a trademark lawsuit with the Bob’s half-brother.

Rollingstone.com reported that Rita and nine of their children filed a lawsuit against his half-bother for unauthorized use of Marley's image for profit. Richard Booker, Bob’s half-brother, had registered the trademark "Mama Marley" to sell a line of fish products, and was using Marley's name and image to market the annual 9 Mile Music Festival in Miami.

Booker's lawyer, Michael I. Santucci, commented to TMZ.com,
"This was a very sensitive case because the legacy of a great man and family were at stake. From what I have learned about Bob Marley, he would be very happy, especially that his family is now at peace. Both parties were happy with the settlement 
agreement."
