Cro-Mags - Trademark Solely Belongs To Harley Flanagan Now
USA hard core punk legends Cro-Mags founder Harley Flanagan says that his former bandmate John Joseph McGowan will no longer be able to use the Cro-Mags JM name to promote his live shows.
As part of a settlement between Flanagan and Joseph filed on September 30 at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Joseph has agreed not to use the Cro-Mags mark, the Cro-Mags JM moniker or any derivative thereof for any of his projects. Going forward, Cro-Mags mark will only be used by Flanagan.
Flanagan released the following statement via Faceook: "As you may have guessed Cro-Mags JM is no more… 'Someone' would like you to think this was a decision they made, but in fact it was the result of them breaching the terms of the settlement which permitted them to use that name. Now…. There can be only one. The charade and confusion is over, it is done. Thank you to all of those who helped make it so."
