Anita 'Lady A' White is suing Lady A
Charles Kelley, David HaywoodThe suit, filed Tuesday in United States District Court’s Western District of Washington, Seattle Division, is the latest volley in the back and forth between the Seattle-based blues singer and the band, formerly known asthat started in June after Lady Antebellum officially changed its name to Lady A. It did so apparently without knowing that blues singer White had used the name Lady A for more than 20 years.
The band’s suit also alleged that White’s new counsel “delivered a draft settlement agreement that included an exorbitant monetary demand.” While the dollar figure is not mentioned in the suit, a statement concurrently issued by the band says the amount is $10 million. Her suit further claims that she has “accrued common law rights in the Lady A trademark…as a result of her long, continuous, and prominent use of the Lady A mark since at least the early 1990s.”
In changing its name, the band has confused White’s fans, especially on the world wide web, the suit alleges: “Internet and social media searches for ‘Lady A,’ which had readily returned results for her music, were now dominated by references to Lady Antebellum,” the suit states. “Ms. White’s Lady A brand had been usurped and set on the path to erasure.”
