(Submitted News) After a three and a half year legal battle over the name THE "STAIN", Jon Stainbrook's band THE STAIN has settled their court case with STAIND. Founded by Stainbrook in 1980, THE STAIN has been performing live shows and received worldwide acclaim for music used in TV, video, and DVD for national and international markets. THE STAIN was also the stage band for Howie Mandel, as part of his act during two tours. THE STAIN's recordings have been used by ESPN, MTV, Disney, FOX, Mountain Dew, Jose Cuervo, Coke, Budweiser, BASF, and Nissan.

Stainbrook registered a trademark for THE "STAIN" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In 1999, Stainbrook and STAIND entered into a licensing agreement, which granted STAIND the right to use Stainbrook's internationally established, well-known, and federally registered trademark for THE "STAIN" for promotion of STAIND. THE STAIN retained sole rights to their music and publishing. In 2003, STAIND sued Stainbrook in a New York Federal Court over the 1999 licensing agreement in an attempt to cancel Stainbrook's rights in the trademark. Judge Miriam Cedarbaum, the presiding judge in the Martha Stewart stock scandal, ruled in favor of Stainbrook. [see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
