Yoko Ono sues singer for being called Lennon

[method77]

Yoko Ono has suddenly decided to sue US singer Lennon Murphy for performing under the name Lennon.

Murphy, who has been performing under the name Lennon for eight years, was named after Ono’s late husband, and former Beatle singer, John Lennon.

According to TMZ.com, Murphy even successfully registered the stagename as a trademark in 2003 - consulting Ono early on in her career about using it to perform under even though, as it’s her legal name, she didn’t need to.

It's not being reported properly:

Yoko did not sue Lennon Murphy, but sought to stop her from getting the exclusive right to the name Lennon for performance purposes. For that, Yoko's attorneys, simply notified the Trademark office that Yoko did not believe it was fair that Ms. Murphy be granted the exclusive right to the "Lennon" trademark in relation to musical and entertainment services. As you can see, this is a very important issue for Yoko and the Lennon family.

Yoko 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."
