... por Yoko Ono:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5098763/John-Lennon-s-widow-forces-bar-change-name.html

Citando:
"John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has sued a bar in Germany forcing it to change its name from 'Yoko Mono'.

Bar owner Nima Garous-Pour has been using the name for nearly 20 years in Hamburg, where the Beatles first found fame.

But lawyers for Yoko claimed that he had been using her name and identity without legal permission.

Judges at the city's regional court agreed - and ordered Garous-Pour to remove the sign, even though he had already shortened the name to simply 'Mono'."

2017-03-16: PM tem de esperar por resultados do processo dos Duran Duran

PM tem de esperar por resultados do processo dos Duran Duran:

Paul McCartney, Denied Control Over Beatles Hits For Decades, Is Told To Wait : The Record : NPR

Citando:

"First, the fine print. In the U.S., authors are allowed to regain copyrights they had previously assigned to other parties, such as a music publishing company, after 56 years, a feature of stateside copyright law designed to give late-in-life artists and their families a financial silver lining (not that McCartney needs it). McCartney is extremely keen, after the previously mentioned burns he sustained, to regain control of his Beatles work — so much so that he filed termination notices, the legal mechanism for him to regain his copyrights, on The Beatles' "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," about 10 years ahead of schedule. (They turn 56 years old in October, 2018.)

Despite that due diligence, McCartney is understandably skittish given his track record of failure in this particular area of his business. The pop genius filed suit, in fact, this past January against Sony/ATV — the world's largest music publisher, which controls much of the Lennon/McCartney songbook — based essentially on a conversation, shared in court documents, in late 2016 during a Billy Joel concert between his lawyer and Sony/ATV chairman and CEO Martin Bandier. The talk seemed to indicate that McCartney's reclamations, which should be protected by U.S. law, may not go as smoothly as he'd hoped."
