Mike Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 The estate of rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix says it has won a trademark infringement lawsuit against a company that promoted Hendrix Electric vodka. The Experience Hendrix and Authentic Hendrix companies in Seattle say they won a $3.2 million federal court judgment that orders the vodka to be pulled from the market. The family owned companies filed the lawsuit in 2007 against Seattle businessman Craig Dieffenbach, who packaged the vodka in purple-tinted bottles with Hendrix's face and signature above the label. Hendrix died in 1970 at age 27. Copyright © 2009 The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm a little tired of watching the Hendrix estate rape Jimi's legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendaddy43 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I gotta agree with TheLizard but at the same time this dude had no right to use not only Jimi's signature but his face too. There's gotta be no debate when it's this cut and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
