Jelly Roll Trademark Lawsuit Filed By Philadelphia Wedding Band Jellyroll Has Been Dismissed
The frontman of the wedding and event band Jellyroll has agreed to drop the lawsuit against country singer Jelly Roll. In a court filing from Tuesday, Kurt Titchenell, the leader of Jellyroll - what "is considered the best wedding band in Philadelphia" — agreed to drop the copyright infringement claim against Jelly Roll (whose real name is Jason DeFord) permanently. “The dispute with Jason Bradley DeFord, a.k.a. Jelly Roll, has been resolved, and the legal action has been withdrawn," Titchenell said in a statement earlier this week. "We look forward to our continued use of the name, Jellyroll Band, in connection with our party band business.” Court documents didn’t indicate that the parties reached a settlement and the dismissal was not signed by Jelly Roll's attorneys. In the filing, attorneys for Titchenell requested that Jelly Roll stop using the moniker and claimed the group first adopted the name around 1980 before obtaining a trademark in 2010 and renewing the paperwork in 2019.
