Yoko Ono moved to halt John Lemon beer
The Japanese-American artist and widow of the Beatles star John Lennon claimed it was a breach of a trademark she had registered a decade ago to stop her late husband being mocked, his name misused and his reputation sullied. In 2017, Ono took legal action to halt the sale of a Polish lemonade called John Lemon. Her lawyers said the use of the name infringed the trademark she had reportedly registered the previous year to protect her late husband’s name and personal rights. Back in Brittany, Picard insists he is not bitter. He is now considering renaming the beer Jaune Lemon (Yellow Lemon).
