Rock Star: Supernova Update – Settlement Announced
Posted by Mark Reichel / 6:22 AM /
As recently referenced by the Daily Dose of IP blog, the original band Supernova sued the three initial band members of the Rock Star: Supernova reality show band (Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted, and Gilby Clarke), as well as Mark Burnett Productions and others alleging trademark infringement, and on September 13th, the district court judge issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the newly formed band (with lead singer Lukas Rossi) from using the name “Supernova.” However, it was announced yesterday that the parties have settled their dispute, and as part of the settlement the newly formed band will be known as “Rock Star Supernova.” Other terms of the settlement have not been made public.
