This was posted by smark 21 in the Soulful Detroit forum but I think it needs to be put in the Motown Forum. Larry Marshak sued the Marvelettes for continued use of the name "Marvelettes" and he has been denied use of the name. The name Marvelettes is now [[and has been) owned by Motown and/or the Marvelettes [[Kat Schaffner and the estate of Gladys Horton). If this case holds, then it has been a banner year for the Marvelous Marvelettes!

Also, Jobeterob has posted an article in a law journal about the case under Soulful Detroit forum as "Who owns and controls the name of a musical group"
