Challenging the Elvis Estate's Copyright Claim Creatively
The founders of a company received a copyright notice from the Elvis estate for using the name 'Elvis Juice' for their popular USB drive app. In response, they humorously changed their names to Elvis and sent a letter back stating that the estate could not use their name in music without paying a license fee.
