According to Bloomberg BNA, the holder of trademarks and copyrights that belonged to Jimi Hendrix has blocked the seller of Purple Haze Liqueur from using several Hendrix-themed trademarks.

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia granted a partial injunction June 22 against Tiger Paw Distributors LLC that stops it from use of the word “Jimi” in its packaging or promotional materials, including web addresses.

Tiger Paw is also enjoined from using pictures of Hendrix's signature. The court declined to enjoin several other marks, including the name “Purple Haze Liqueur” and a stylized image of a person resembling Hendrix.

Last November, Tiger Paw Beverages Inc. and Leon Hendrix, brother of Jimi Hendrix, introduce Purple Haze Liqueur.

According to a product description: Purple Haze Liqueur will delight consumers with a mildly sweet and unique blend of vodka, cognac and exotic berries. At 34 proof, the premium liqueur is developed to the highest level of perfection for a taste that cannot be extinguished. Inspired by a fierce commitment to true originality, Tiger Paw Beverages Inc. has created a planned premium portfolio of alcohol beverage products inspired by the numerous titles of classic Jimi Hendrix songs, which are amongst the most famous in music history by an artist many consider the most gifted instrumentalist ever.

"I wanted to produce a high quality product that consumers would love while honoring my brother Jimi, and all of his amazing work," said Leon. "He would drink Purple Haze Liqueur if he could be here with us today."

In a cocktail form, the liqueur can be mixed with Sprite, champagne or Brand Ambassador DJ Quik's favorite, pomegranate juice. Also enjoyed by Brand Ambassador King Chip (recording artist), who prefers to top it off with his favorite cognac or Lil' Fizz's dirty Sprite remix (Love & Hip Hop Hollywood).
