(Rock News Desk) An unsigned UK band are locked in what they call a "big business bully-boy" battle with a games corporation who are trying to take their name from them.

Ubisoft recently announced plans for a music videogame to be called Rocksmith. But a band from Southend, England, has been called Rocksmith for four years � and mainman Kris Ford registered the title four years before that.

He only discovered Ubisoft's plans when they filed to register "Rocksmith" as a trademark in March this year. His attempts to defend his property have cost him hundreds of pounds already and could cost him thousands more. more on this story
