It was recently reported that John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono was suing Lennon Murphy for using the name, “Lennon” as her band name.
Sources say that Yoko “Nono” is hitting out at these “hurtful” reports, insisting that she hasn’t taken any legal action against Murphy. The suit was alleging that Murphy registered “Lennon” as a trademark and was tarnishing her late husband’s name.
Yoko says that she simply tried to stop her from getting the exclusive rights to use the name Lennon for performance purposes by notifying the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Ono says, “I am really hurt if people thought that I told a young artist to not use her own name in her performances and had sought to sue her. I did no such thing. I hope this allegation will be cleared.”
Way to stay relevant, Yoko!
