The Smiths Trademark Makes Morrissey Miserable Now
Johnny Marr has run off and registered The Smiths trademark in his name without telling Morrissey!
Morrissey is not happy saying:
“Amongst many other things, this means that Marr can now tour as The Smiths using the vocalist of his choice, and it also prohibits Morrissey from using the name whilst also denying Morrissey considerable financial livelihood. Morrissey alone created the musical unit name ‘The Smiths’ in May 1982.”
Maybe Johnny Marr is not such a charming man after all?
Strange that it has taken Morrissey 6 years to realise this trademark has been registered but then again checking who is registering your business name is not such a common exercise !
Clearly there is some bad blood here but I doubt very much that it will be a case of Strangeways here we come!
