  7. The Boys Light Up: Australian Crawl Trademark dispute -
    'James Reyne and Simon Binks, two of the founding members of veteran pub rock act Australian Crawl, have issued a statement addressing a nascent trademark dispute with former member Bill McDonough.

    The statement notes that on Thursday, March 12th, the band's founding members filed an application to the Australian Federal Court challenging McDonough’s acquisition of Australian Crawl trademarks.

    McDonough had previously acquired these trademarks back in 1990 for matters relating to “Entertainment services including artists' agencies, sound recording, radio and television programme production, theatre or cinema productions and amusement centres and parks," while he acquired the trademark for matters relating to “Clothing, footwear and all goods” in 1994.

    However, the band contends there was never any consultation or agreement with any members of Australian Crawl in relation to registering the trademarks, and "As such, the founding members do not recognise Bill’s ownership of these assets."'
