The United States District Court in Detroit, on November 6th, granted a Permanent Injunction in KISS Catalog v Scallatino, et al permanently enjoining the sale of a book entitled Vintage KISS Photos, and ordered defendants to permanently cease from using the name KISS or any of Plaintiff’s marks, including the registered face paint used by KISS.

The Federal Court also enjoined anyone from publishing a book which includes a collection of the copyrighted photographs or utilizes the face paint or other registered trademarks of KISS.

“This is an important decision, not only for KISS, but also for the entertainment industry,” said William Randolph, the General Counsel for KISS Catalog in New York. “Of course, the rock group KISS has the advantage that the KISS Logo and facepaint used by the group are registered trademarks in the US and around the world. But the precedent also applies to all entertainers. Previously, we obtained a permanent injunction and substantial damages against the sale of bootleg videos taken without permission at KISS concerts,” said Mr. Randolph. “We would also like to thank our counsel, Howard and Howard in Michigan, including Raymond Scott and Greg DeGrazia, for their legal work in these matters.”

A new KISS box set, The Casablanca Singles, will be released on December 4th via Mercury/Casablanca/UMe.

The set will consist of 29 singles, 26 of them are picture sleeve singles with the solo singles in colored vinyl, red, green, red, blue and feature a mask of each member just as it was released in the UK. The box set comes in a black case with a fiery KISS logo emblazed on the front.
