Judge Kevin Eide

RE: Request for Merchandising Rights & Enforcement of Trademark/ Copyright Violations

Greetings Your Honor,

My name is Luz E. Cruz; I am also known as Lucy. I am an artist and was a close friend of the late Prince

Rogers Nelson. I reside outside the state of Minnesota, and am writing to you as a result of the distance. The

reason for my letter is due to several issues I would like the court to address regarding merchandising rights,

intellectual property rights, trademarks and copyrights as well as content protection; a lack thereof. These

issues directly affect me and it is my firm belief these issues are not being properly addressed by the

companies the court assigned to oversee them. I have no legal representation; I am but a humble citizen who

has a duty to my friend to bring these matters to your attention.

Let me begin by saying I hold Prince’s friendship and his legacy with the highest respect, and I have been

trying to honor his legacy as well as cope with this tremendous loss in the only way I know how; through art.

I am very introverted and am not the kind of person to seek neither attention nor a soapbox. I would not be

wndng this to you unless I felt there was a great concern regarding the handling of Prince’s legacy. These

concerns are not solely my own, as a vast amount of fans have pointed out on social media platforms of this

gross abuse of content and the disrespectful manner in which unauthorized merchandise is being allowed to

be sold, while discarding licensing to legitimate artists who are trying to honor the man and provide fresh

designs to the public with the highest respect to Prince’s legacy.

Beginning in July of 2016 I’ve been attempting to obtain rights to use the likeness of Prince as well as his

symbols in tribute art I have created to sell online via print on demand websites. I am not wealthy by any

stretch of the imagination, statistically speaking my household falls below the poverty line, so trying to launch

my art career in efforts to sustain my household is paramount. These are my own created works, drawn from

photographs of the late icon. Due to an overwhelming response I have been attempting to market my

artwork on merchandise such as apparel.

RE: Request for Merchandising Rights & Enforcement of Trademark/Copyright Violations

Page 2: RECEIVED - mncourts.gov€¦ · created using my artistic abilities in tribute to him. I have enclosed a Merchandising Agreement for the court’s consideration. I request the court

Last year, I first attempted to contact Mr. Londell McMillian and Bremer via email, who did not respond to

my inquiry. Since January of this year; when the merchandising rights were granted to Comerica, UMG / Bravado I have been requesting permission to sell my artwork, even going so far as to recently making contact with Fredrikson law firm; attorneys Ann Wessberg &]ohn Stout in order to obtain permission.

Coincidently I discovered Fredrikson Law firm represents both Comerica and Universal Music

Group / Bravado, so when I speak of them collectively it is because they are all aware of the situation.

Since exclusive merchandising rights had been awarded to Universal Music Group / Bravado there has been

several issues that have arisen which I have attempted to address with them. Their lack of providing any

answer other than removing my artwork from online retail platforms has forced me to raise these issues with

your honor.

My requests for licensing continue to be ignored. 1 even went to the extent of drafting a licensing agreement

and emailing this to the Bravado licensing department. To date I have not received ANY response regarding my requests for licensing; not a rejection, not an acceptance; nothing has been provided to me by the

licensing department. On August 1St however Bravado’s content protection attorneys felt the need to cite me

with a cease and desist letter in which they dishonestly represent to be the right holders of all trademarks and

copyrights under the estate and require me to cease any and all sales of my Prince Tribute artwork. I have

attached a copy of the cease and desist letter for your review. Although I understand they hold merchandising

rights, the USPTO clearly shows these trademarks were only recently applied for, have no registration number

and are in fact owned by Paisley Park Enterprises. More disturbing is the fact that the symbol which is also

being applied for trademark is famously known to have only existed for one reason; Prince legally changing

his name to this symbol. In saying this, it is my belief the registration of the symbol violates trademark law.

The attorneys for Comerica and UMG / Bravado (F redrikson Law Firm) have threatened me with legal action if I do not remove my artwork from merchandise. I have obliged and removed all instances of my Prince

Tribute artwork from all print—on—demand retail platforms. Meanwhile your honor, I have come across several

hundred instances where blatant theft of photographs, album covers, and actual intellectual property being

sold without authorization or enforcement; I have enclosed recent screen captures showing a small portion of

these instances for your review. I had even gone so far as to provide Bravado Content Protection attorneys as

well as Comeria/UMG attorneys links to these web pages and they verified these are clearly infringing on

intellectual rights of the estate and the merchandising rights I myself am being cited with.

These links were first provided to Bravado via email on June 1St 2017 and Sean P. Smith verified these sites

were infringing. These same links were sent via email to Fredrikson Law Firm on July 15th, 2017. To date

these merchants remain active and are still selling items that are in direct violation of the same copyrights and

trademarks I have been cited with violating. Nothing has been done to enforce violations on these merchants;

which again indicates Comerica, UMG / Bravado are only targeting individuals like myself who are making every effort to legitimize our works because we made ourselves “easy targets”.

RE: Request for Merchandising Rights & Enforcement of Trademark/Copyright Violations

Page 3: RECEIVED - mncourts.gov€¦ · created using my artistic abilities in tribute to him. I have enclosed a Merchandising Agreement for the court’s consideration. I request the court

When Prince was with us, he employed a team of 3 people whose specific job description was to search the internet for these types of infringements and remove them. It goes without saying this was done with

clockwork precision. With that said, this standard is not being upheld in the hands of the current individuals

responsible for enforcement. More so, instead, Bravado Content Protection is targeting people who are

attempting to have original artwork recognized and legitimized. Dare I say they are being lazy with their

enforcement and it has brought me to this point; making contact with you.

Since I am not receiving any response from those who were put in charge of these matters, I would like to

formally request from the court merchandising rights; permission to use, market and sell my Prince Tribute

artwork that depicts my hand—drawn creations of Prince’s likeness, symbols and name on merchandise I

created using my artistic abilities in tribute to him. I have enclosed a Merchandising Agreement for the court’s

consideration. I request the court to complete and return a signed copy to me if granted. If your honor wishes

to review my artwork you may do so via my online art gallery: www.resonanceoftheuniverse.com Z Prince-Tribute—Art

Lastly, due to the overwhelining amount of infnnging material I; one individual without the resources of a

multi—million dollar corporation have located by simply browsing the internet and Bravado Content

Protection making it clear they are incapable of enforcing these infnngements; I would like to also request the

court appoint me as an enforcement agent to administer the clear violations that have been reported and

continue being ignored. Many in the Prince community have expressed their frustration with the handling of

this particular situation; preventing artists, non—profits and charities from selling their original works while

allowing blatant theft of photos and album covers to be sold and in some instances is insulting to Prince’s

own beliefs. The public has made it very clear this lack of enforcement is an insult to Prince’s legacy. I

personally want more than anything to see this issue dealt with appropriately. These infringements are very

easy to report, and I see no reason why the companies that were assigned to enforce these rights, who have

dedicated an entire department to this specific issue are having such difficulty in adhering to enforcement.

Having experience with this type of enforcement I am easily able to report these merchants and their content

in efforts to thwart the unauthorized use and sales which I myself have been accused of violating. I would

also request the court appoint me as a full time contracted content protection agent with compensation in the

amount of $3,000 per month paid for by the estate and/ or Comerica, UMG/ Bravado. I have enclosed an

Employment Agreement for this request emphasizing the specific nature of the duties I will provide. If

granted, I request the court grant an order and require an estate representative to complete and return a

signed copy of the enclosed contract to me with an established start date.

In closing, I would like to say I am only trying to do right by my friend and honor his legacy with the highest

standards, it has been made clear that self-interests and indolence are running rampant while my friend’s

legacy is being dragged down to the lowest common denominator. My respectful and humble tributes being

deemed unauthorized violations while Prince’s photograph is being tolerated to be sold on shoes, umbrellas,

shower curtains and in some instances posing as a religious idol. I want to do what is right by my friend, but

also want those responsible for continuing his legacy to also adhere to the gold standards that are fitting to

this legendary icon, and my dear friend. Since it is clear they are not upholding the standards his legacy deserves, I have no choice but to step in and call them out on this gross lack of enforcement.

Thank you for your time your honor, I hope you take into consideration my concerns and grant my requests

so I can better adhere to the standards my friend and iconic figure deserves where those who were appointed

are failing to do.

Re: Bravado International Group Merchandising Services, Inc. v.M August 1, 2017

To Whom It May Concern:

I am contacting you on behalf of Universal Music Group and Bravado International

Group Merchandising Services, Inc., the exclusive worldwide licensee for the sale of

merchandise relating to the recording artist, Prince. This letter is intended to notify the recipient,

Luz “Lucy” E. Cruz and www.RESONANCEOFTHEUNIVERSE.com of sales of unauthorized

merchandise being conducted via their platform.

Under penalty of perjury, I submit that I am a lawyer with Universal Music Group,

Content Protection Department, authorized to act on behalf of Bravado International Group

Merchandising Services, Inc. in all matters involving the infringement of their copyrights,

trademarks, including enforcing our trademarks, common law rights, and contractual rights to the

aforementioned artist’s name, image, and/or likeness in commerce and on the Internet. I further

submit that I have a good-faith belief that the use of material in the manner complained of herein

is not authorized by the licensee, trademark owner, its agent, or the law.

We have discovered that you were recently selling unauthorized merchandise related to Prince on the e-commerce platform—REDBUBBLE, and presently that your online store,

www.RESONANCEOFTHEUNIVERSE.com, is selling unauthorized merchandise products,

including but not limited to, dresses, t-shirts, ceramic mugs, and poster prints bearing the

trademarks, names, images, and/or likenesses of the aforesaid musical performer on your website

at:

https://www.resonanceoftheuniverse.com/ shop

Screen shots of the infringing content have been provided herewith. This unauthorized

use(s) of our trademarks, and/or the aforementioned artist’s name, image, and/or likeness,

directly competes with our rights to use the trademarks and distribute merchandise on the artist’s

behalf. The sale of those products infringes Bravado’s rights pursuant to common law and

various statutes including but not limited to 15 U.S.C. 1125(a).

Furthermore, please be advised copying a copyrighted recording is illegal, unless

expressly authorized by the copyright owner of the sound recording. Moreover, the sale or

Page 12: RECEIVED - mncourts.gov€¦ · created using my artistic abilities in tribute to him. I have enclosed a Merchandising Agreement for the court’s consideration. I request the court

distribution of unauthorized phonorecords is illegal. Anyone who knowingly manufactures, sells, or distributes unauthorized phonorecords may be subject to both criminal and civil

prosecution. Those who are convicted criminally can be sent to prison for up to five years and/or fined up to $250,000. In addition, anyone who sells or distributes counterfeit phonorecords may also be civilly liable to the copyright owner for damages and profits or statutory damages of up

to $150,000 per copyright infringed, as well as for reimbursement of reasonable attomeys' fees

and costs of the suit to the owner of the copyright in issue. Most importantly, as delineated in 18

U.S.C. §§ 2318 and 2320, these same penalties can also be imposed on anyone who traffics In either counterfeit labels or counterfeit trademarlm which simulate trademarks and labels,

such as those owned by my clients.

Be advised that this activity is not authorized by the Bravado International Group

Merchandising Services, Inc., its agents, or the law and any such sale is in violation of our rights.

Specifically, in addition to our worldwide exclusive rights to the names, images, and/or

likenesses of the artist(s) and to distribute merchandise, the above-referenced items infringe upon

the following United States trademarks:

Prince “PRINCE” Serial Nos. 87473006, 86433244

Prince i Serial No. 87472962

Prince Serial No. 871 19799

Prince Reg. No. 1860429

Therefore, demand is hereby made that you immediately cease and desist the sale,

distribution and all advertising of said merchandise on this website/platform as well as any other

e-commerce site.

In addition, further demand is made that you forward to me the following:

Page 13: RECEIVED - mncourts.gov€¦ · created using my artistic abilities in tribute to him. I have enclosed a Merchandising Agreement for the court’s consideration. I request the court
