Description

In this segment of "Intellectual Property News" on Passage to Profit Show, we dive into a surprising trademark showdown involving music legend Neil Young and his new band, Chrome Hearts—now facing a lawsuit from the luxury clothing brand of the same name. Could fans really confuse a rock band with a fashion label, or is this just a publicity stunt dressed up as legal action? We break down how trademark confusion really works, why famous brands get extra legal protection, and what this case teaches entrepreneurs about choosing names wisely. Tune in for a fun, insightful look at branding, the law, and the fine line between inspiration and infringement.
