[Trademark Infringement] DJ Envy Permanently Prohibited From Using "Carchella". Coachella Wins!
According to court documents, the car fanatic DJ agreed to a permanent injunction that will prohibit him from ever using the name “Carchella” ever again. In 2021, Coachella launched a legal warfare aimed at the breakfast club co-host for promoting a car show called “Carchella.”
Coachella stated DJ Envy ignored its requests to change the name of his event. As a result, the brand filed a lawsuit for trademark infringement.
After getting sued, DJ Envy decided to do away with the “Carchella” name. Envy previously agreed to a preliminary injunction and a temporary restraining order.
Rodman E. Honecker, one of Coachella’s attorneys, informed Judge Claire C. Cecchi about the final settlement in a filing submitted on Monday (March 7 2022). The agreement included a permanent injunction to ensure the Dj is barred from any usage of “Carchella.”
DJ Envy, whose real name is RaaShaun Casey, cannot partake in any activity that infringes the Coachella brand. The settlement also stipulates that DJ Envy is not allowed to host, produce or promote any event using the “chella” suffix.
Although the slap wasn’t completely painless, DJ Envy was able to avoid a costly trial. Both parties agreed to cover their own legal costs that may be incurred in the settlement.
