Yet Another Lawsuit

The estate of the late Michael Jackson has filed a law suit in Los Angeles against, Howard Mann, a business partner of Katherine Jackson.

The suit alleges that memorabilia, created with her permission, and other commercial ventures constituted "wholesale misappropriation" of Michael Jackson's intellectual property.

The suit accuses Mann of "arrogant disregard" for the estate's rights and asks a judge to stop his company, Vintage Pop Media, from further use of Jackson's name, image and music.

The suit does not name Katherine Jackson.
