Zappa's widow sues German music festival
DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) - April 9, 2008 Gail Zappa says the German-based Arf Society's use of Zappa's
name and an accompanying logo infringe on trademarks held by the
Zappa Family Trust. The logo features a prominent mustache similar
to that sported by the legendary musician.
The Arf Society says the trust has been aware of its use of the
name since the festival was launched in 1998.
A state court in Duesseldorf began hearing the case Wednesday.
