Last week, Will.i.am saw his quiet attempt to file a lawsuit against Pharrell Williams foiled when US press uncovered the suit, and subsequently reported it to the world at large.
Unfortunately, despite trying to deny the suit ever existed, Will.i.am has now found himself scoring a taste of his own medicine…now the ‘Mr.Me Too’ star has filed a lawsuit against him.
Full story below…
According to BBC Newsbeat, this week saw Pharrell take legal action against Will- asking a US court to rule that his ‘I Am Other’ venture does not infringe upon the ‘I am‘ trademark reportedly owned by the ‘Don’t Phunk With My Heart’ producer.
In this claim, Williams allegedly exposes the producer to be a liar, claiming the ‘Black Eyed Peas’ frontman did send letters to him, demanding he stop using ‘I am’ branding- despite Will’s claim that no such letters existed last week.
Newsbeat explained:
“Pharell’s trademarks do not feature full stops between the I and the am, while will.i.am’s do, says the lawsuit.
Pharrell William’s lawsuit also says that will.i.am’s trademark for “I AM” covers clothing and is “relatively weak” because similar trademarks already exist.”
Oh for real? This is beyond petty

I read the That Grape Juice articles all the time, but I have to say this is very poorly written and very confusing. No I am not an idiot. I am a graphic design/marketing professional, but it seems as though the person writing this article was half asleep. It’s all over the place. Just food for thought.
I think your point was taken because it’s been edited.
Much better!
he ain’t s***. HE IS FAMOUS BECAUSE HE USED TO BE OLDONCE’S EX F*****.
Kelly Rowland needs to sue beyonce for Copyright infringement for stealing the UH-OH hook in her Cant Nobody Song. Kelly shouldn’t be afraid, that hook UH-OH hook she wrote in 2002, beyonce stole in 2003 for crazy in love …
….
when Latoya and Octavia was kicked out of DC for no real reason they had to sue to get their money and credits (it wasn’t given to them)……
..Kelly needs to file a suit, beyonce is famous for that hook that she stole she just did a slow version of it words sound alike .
…
beyonce wore white-tank top/jean shorts like Kelly did and danced in the street like her (to really make a fool of her)
…………………sue the b****,dumbass…..

…
beyonce Uh-oh owes Kellys punk ass millions of dollars and credits for everytime that b**** said UH-oh for every album, sale dvd, radio spin,

Pharrell is not scared to collect what he feels is his. Latoya Luckett got her money,
…
Kelly that thief is spending your cash smiling in your face with a knife in your back..
