TV's Supernova has to change its name, judge rules
canada.com
Wednesday, September 13, 2006Supernova has a new lead singer – and it will soon have a new name.
A judge has ordered the band to change its name because an established rock group named Supernova already exists.
"The ruling is a major victory for Supernova," the original Supernova's attorney, John Mizhir Jr., told Billboard. "This is sweet justice. The order also proves that the law does not discriminate. The band members have worked hard for the past 17 years to establish the name Supernova and they are entitled to continue to perform without any other parties – large or small – infringing on their rights."
The ruling came down just as the season finale of Rock Star: Supernova was being taped nearby.
The original Supernova, created in 1989, has released four albums and contributed the song "Chewbacca"
to the Clerks soundtrack.
