• Kanye West Wins 'Coinye' Trademark Infringement Lawsuit

    You may remember that back in January, a new form of digital currency was launched called "Coinye West," which was named, of course, for rapper Kanye West, and featured a cartoon representation of his likeness. Though one would assume that having his name and face plastered on as many products as possible would be Yeezy's ultimate life goal, the "Bound 2" rapper actually wasn't too thrilled about it, so much so that he filed a trademark-infringement lawsuit against the company pretty much immediately. Radio.com now reports that on July 22, the lawsuit had been settled in West's favor by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
