Would there be a legal problem doing this.

I work for a restaurant and we are thinking of doing a pig roast in May.
At this roast we are going to honor the 3 P's, pig, pinot, and Pearl Jam.
Hopefully one of Eddies favorite producers of Pinot will help with this.
We were wondering if there would be a legal issue having Pearl Jams name associated to this. Any input appreciated, and if your in N.California you're more than welcome to stop by.

    You know that scene in Pulp Fiction with Zed, Maynard and Marsellus Wallace? Well, replace the first two with Jake and Pete and Marsellus with yourself and then you'll have your answer.

  • I wouldn't worry about it - but if you spell it with 2 m's or 2 p's
    Pearl Jamm or PPearl Jam or something like that - you definately won't have a problem.

    Copyright infringement would be if you are using the Pearl Jam name, logo, images, ect...to sell something and make a profit without their permission. I don't think you'll have a problem.

    sweet smell that they adore
    I think I'd rather smother
