Billboard.com's Christa Titus recently issued the following report:

Queensrÿche defeated a motion for a preliminary injunction on July 13th that would have kept it from touring and operating under the band name, AGPS Management senior manager Glen Parrish exclusively tells Billboard. The act is defending a complaint filed by former singer, GEOFF TATE, in a Washington state court over whether he should be awarded the Queensrÿche name after being expelled from the group in June.

"We are excited that the Washington courts saw what we and the fans have always known, that Queensrÿche is more than any one member," Parrish said in a statement. "We are sorry we had to go to court to show this, but we are determined to bring back the quality product Queensrÿche was known for. We can't wait to unveil to the fans what [the band creates] next musically."
