SAN FRANCISCO — Tod Hunter reports on www.xbiz.com that sex writer Violet Blue has won an injunction against adult performer Violet Blue in U.S. District Court.
In a suit filed Oct. 19, the writer Violet Blue claimed trademark infringement, trademark dilution, unfair competition and unfair use of name and likeness in “obscene and pornographic works without the permission or consent of plaintiff.”
The court order enjoins performer Violet Blue “and all other persons, firms or corporations acting in concert with her, their successors and assigns” from using the name “Violet Blue” in association with the performer, including “attempting to trade on the plaintiff’s goodwill by capitalizing on the Violet Blue name through inclusion of ‘Violet Blue’ history, or by referencing her former appearances as ‘Violet Blue.'”
The performer formerly known as Violet Blue and one-time AVN Best New Starlet, is currently calling herself “Noname Jane”. She is retired from performing. Her website VioletBlue.org was ordered inactivated by the court.
