The name Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs uses for his Sean John fragrance might stand out, but it has attracted some unwanted attention. According to published reports, the company was hit with a lawsuit over the use of the name ‘Empress’.The name is already being used by Empress Haircare Products, and the company claims to have trademarked it.
Reports state that Sean John has filed two unsuccessful applications to use the name. The suit claims that the company tried to use the name even with prior knowledge that it was trademarked. Sean John even reached out to Empress Haircare at one point. The lawsuit seeks damages and profits made from the sale of the Empress fragrance.
