Bob Marley estate sues a restaurant over 'One Love' phrase


SPIN magazine reported that the Bob Marley estate sued a restaurant named Raising Cane’s for using the phrase ‘One Love’ as its trademark.

The article said that Cane’s has been using the phrase since late 2001 on their menus, merchandise and other promotional materials and it registered the use of the phrase. Because of Cane’s registration, Marley’s ‘Marley One Love’ was denied to be registered by US Patent and Trademark Office. The Marley’s is claiming that Cane’s registered the phrase without consulting and they requested damages, attorney’s fee and profits from chain.

Raising Cane’s has released the statement about this lawsuit. Click here to read on SPIN.
