Washington, June 13 (ANI): Joe Jackson's dream to launch Michael Jackson tribute fragrances has been stalled after he was hit with a lawsuit that raised questions on his rights to sell the scents.
The 82 year old and his business partner Franck Rouas were called 'unlicensed distributors' in a lawsuit from executives at Bravado, a firm that retains the commercial rights to sell products under the 'Thriller' icon's name.
Bravado bosses filed a complaint asking a judge to ban the sale of Jackson Tribute for men and Jackson Legend for women. They are also seeking 150,000 dollars in damages.
However, the Jackson patriarch defended his right to sell the fragrances.
"I am the father, he was my son and I can decide what to do on his behalf and in his honour... There are many interests around the legacy of my son, companies that want everything, but I have a foundation that allows me to launch projects with his name, the name of my son," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
The scheduled release date for the bottles has not been announced yet. (ANI)
