Jackson estate wins injunction against website

Los Angeles: Michael Jackson`s estate has won a preliminary injunction against a group using the name of the superstar`s former charitable group.

US District Judge Dolly Gee on Monday ordered the current Heal the World Foundation to stop using Jackson`s likeness and any trademarks that belong to his estate. Jackson`s estate sued the owners of the foundation last year, claiming copyright infringement. They also claimed the site was improperly using Jackson`s name and likeness to solicit donations. Jackson created a charity based on his hit song "Heal the World" in 1992. It was later dissolved. Gee`s ruling said the new website, which has its references to Jackson, misled consumers. An e-mail seeking comment from foundation president Melissa Johnson was not immediately returned. Bureau Report
