NKOTB Sue Company For Trying To Name Another Boy Band NKOTB
Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Reformed boy band New Kids on the Block is suing a company for allegedly trying to make a new band also named New Kids on the Block (NKOTB).
TMZ is reporting that the quintet filed a Federal lawsuit against SM Productions company for allegedly attempting to "form a new group also entitled 'New Kids on the Block'" in 2005.
They claim that SMP wanted to register the band's name and album art from "Hangin' Tough" with the U.S. Patents and Trademark Office so they could record music with their group and pass it off as the original band.
The popular group - composed of Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight and Jonathan Knight - want the court to tell everyone that their name belongs to them.

The last thing the world needs is another New Kids on the Block — which is exactly why the band is suing someone for allegedly trying to form a fake New Kids on the Block.
NKOTB just filed a Federal lawsuit against a company called SM Productions, that in 2005 allegedly attempted "to form a new group also entitled 'New Kids on the Block'" — so SMP could record music with a band that people thought were the real deal.
The suit also says SMP tried to register the band's name and album art from "Hangin' Tough" with the U.S. Patents and Trademark Office.
NKOTB is suing because they want the court to officially tell everyone that the NKOTB name belongs to NKOTB and NKOTB only (say that a few times fast).
