Hagar Not So Cabo Wabo With Franchisee

Jan 28

By Tamera H. Bennett Rocker Sammy Hagar sued a Fresno developer who franchised his popular Baja California cantina and nightclub, saying his Cabo Wabo brand is denigrated. Hagar alleges he was never paid royalties for the use of his Cabo Wabo brand.

Red Head, Inc., Hagar's licensing company, holds 24 pending applications/trademark registrations for marks that include the terms "Cabo Wabo."

UPDATE: I guess great legal minds do have the same ideas .... for an in-depth look at the legals issues visit the Las Vegas Trademark Lawyer blog.
