FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MODERN DAY BATTLE OF DAVID AND GOLIATH -ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC VS. ACM RECORDS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRESS CONTACT: Michael C. Luckman  (212) 995-0384

MODERN DAY BATTLE  OF DAVID AND GOLIATH:ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC VS. ACM RECORDS  

ACM Records is fighting for it's name in a modern day 

Battle of David and Goliath currently being played out 

between the small independent record label based in New 

Jersey and the Academy of Country Music, which allegedly 

wants to use the title ACM Records to expand it's thriving 

record business.

Despite the fact that the Academy of Country Music had 

it's trademark application for the title "ACM Fan Jam"

rejected because of alleged copyright confusion

with ACM Records' existing trademark, the organization, 

which is known for it's annual awards show televised on 

CBS, has filed a lawsuit against ACM Records

in the Federal Count in Los Angeles, California seeking

to prevent the well respected indie music label from

continuing to do business under it's longtime corporate

name.

Founded 20 years ago by Al Cohen and Eve Adams, ACM

incorporated in 1991 and registered the company's 

name in 2008.  On February 21, 2011 the United States

Patent Office rejected an application by the Academy

of Country Music for use of the title, "ACM Fan Jam,"

ruling that the name could easily be confused with

the ACM Records trademark.  Nonetheless, the Academy

of Country Music has continued to use the title, 

"ACM Fan Jam," to promote live music events and in 

2011 began to distribute compact discs under the name

"ACM ZinePak."

"We don't have a problem with the Academy of 

Country Music using ACM as their abbreviation," said 

the co-owners of ACM Records, "but we will not allow

them to infringe on our musical territory.  If 

necessary we may seek an injunction to prevent the 

Academy of Country Music from distributing products

that confuse the public as to their source.  The 

Academy needs to practice what many of their artists

preach:  America is all about fairness for the little 

guy."

ACM Records represents hundreds of recording artists

from all types of musical genres including rock, folk,

country as well as hip hop artists such as MCBEE-X, 

Shif-T, Warchild, Seven, Minister Kane, and the 

legendary Grandmaster Melle Mel among many others. The

label also represents songwriters, composers, and 

producers that have had tunes placed on major 

television network stations ranging from NBC, CBS, E!,

MTV, Discovery to FX on programs such as "Smash", 

"justified", "Law and Order", "Nikitia" and 

"Saturday Night Live" just to name a few, in addition 

to their artists songs placed in numerous feature 

films including the smash country hit, "Brokeback 

Mountain: and the hip hop classic, "Paid in Full"."
