How many breakfast cereal, automobile, cell phone, sun-dried tomato, wine, beer, and motor home companies are just aching to use the Lady A trademark?

I imagine something less than one.

More then you think. But it doesn't matter how many, the band began using it as a nickname some time ago. She (Lady A) should have slapped them with a cease and desist order then and this would not be a problem. Since they are both in the singing business her right would have been upheld as reasonable.

Probably one of the most famous cases was Apple Computer Vs Apple Recording over who had the right to the name.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
