MJ Estate Sues Katherine Jackson's Business Partner
23 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson's Estate has just sued Howard Mann, Katherine Jackson's business partner, claiming he's been ripping off Michael's name and likeness for profit ... TMZ has learned.



According to the lawsuit, filed Thursday in L.A. County Superior Court, the Estate claims Mann has violated copyright, trademark and cyber piracy laws by hocking all things MJ.

Estate lawyer Howard Weitzman says, "The Estate had hoped Mann would voluntarily cease his conduct but that was not to be," adding, "People who trade off Michael's personality, copyrights, and trademarks should not be allowed to exploit the legacy of one of the world's most recognized talents for their own benefit."

The Estate did not name Katherine Jackson as a defendant.

So the rotation of hoax characters continues...

I love Michael throwing the suspicious "side eye". <!-- s --><!-- s -->

All of the stories about Katherine and her business partners and projects are very suspicious, to say at least.
How come she is involved in all of this and at the same time not being in line with MJ Estate?

Michael is taking power over his business, image and rights.

Well done! Better late than never.

And i really like the suspicious eye given

Good job Estate. Eventually, if they won't do good job, Prince Michael will do when he reaches 18 and everybody will suffer. I hope we won't get there until Michael really dies, in his 80s sometime.
