Rick Ross just won a trademark lawsuit over a rapper who claimed that he infringed on his mastermind moniker by using it as the name of his album.
The 40-year-old Miami rapper, who is now free to work on his ninth studio album, used the name Mastermind for his sixth studio album that came out in 2014 and the United States District Court for the Central District of California disagreed with the plaintiff and ruled in favor of Ricky Rozay and Universal Music Group.
The plaintiff didn’t reap a dime out of the millions he was seeking in damages.
Ross’ attorney Leron E. Rogers said after the court decision was made.:
“When claims are made against our clients, we litigate them very aggressively,” “We are happy that the court not only ruled in Ross and Universal’s favor, but also took the extra step to cancel Plaintiff’s trademark.”
