Rita and the Bob Marley Dead leff

Bob Marley’s widow Rita and her children have brought action in the United States District Court, against several parties that have been manufacturing, distributing and offering for sale certain potpourri/kush products which bear the Jamaican reggae legend’s name, image, trademark, persona and likeness.

Fifty Six Hope Road Music Ltd, the company founded by Bob Marley’s wife and children and the legal entity holding the trademark, publicity, persona and other intellectual property rights to iconic reggae artist Bob Marley, is bringing the lawsuit.

Hope Road reportedly obtained an ex-parte seizure order and accompanied by the United States Marshal’s office conducted a raid on the facilities of the named defendants earlier this month, seizing thousands of illegal Bob Marley products.
