Hendrix Appeal

06/22/07
. (Experience Hendrix PR) Since 1995, James �Al� Hendrix, the sole heir of Jimi Hendrix, and his close family members and their companies have been committed to preserving Jimi Hendrix�s musical, cultural and artistic legacy. Experience Hendrix has registered and continuously used trademarks of Jimi Hendrix�s name, his image, his signature and other logos in careful marketing of Jimi�s music, recordings, artistic properties and related merchandise throughout the world.

In 2005, a federal district court dismissed Experience Hendrix�s claim that the James Marshall Hendrix Foundation�s use of certain Jimi Hendrix personality rights had violated the Washington Personality Rights Act. The Court reasoned that a 1903 New York Civil Rights law, which does not recognize a celebrity�s posthumous personality rights, and not the Washington Act, should apply to the case. Yesterday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that decision. While Experience Hendrix will request a rehearing, the Court�s decision today will not affect Experience Hendrix�s exclusive ownership of Jimi�s music and recordings and will not affect the trademarks that Experience Hendrix has used and will continue to use in maintaining and promoting Jimi�s legacy.
