MIGHT AS WELL JUMP (INTO FEDERAL COURT): Alex Van Halen's ex-wife Kelly has been sued by the band, alleging that her potential use of the name "Kelly Van Halen" in connection with various goods and services
infringes and dilutes the VAN HALEN trademarks. Quickly reading the complaint, there seems to be a critical allegation missing--namely that Kelly is actually using the "Kelly Van Halen" mark for goods and services. (Insert your own jokes about whether the VAN HALEN mark was irreparably diluted when they hired Gary Cherone below.)
