Outkast Sue EDM Duo Called ATLiens for Trademark Infringement

Outkast are suing an Atlanta-based EDM duo called ATLiens for trademark infringement.

“This is a basic brand protection issue,” Abigail J. Remore and Peter Nussbaum, lawyers for CSG Law, which represent Outkast, tells Rolling Stone. “Efforts to resolve this matter amicably were unfortunately unsuccessful, and Outkast therefore had to file suit in order to protect the valuable name and trademark ATLiens that it created and has continuously used for nearly 30 years.” “On ATLiens … Andre [3000] and Big Boi display a unique ability to describe ghetto life while offering up life-affirming possibilities, something all too rare in today’s hip-hop nation.”
