EasyJet parent company EasyGroup has taken legal action against East Midlands-based musicians Easy Life for trademark theft
Legally it has moved EasyJet parent company EasyGroup vs Easy Life musicians based in the East Midlands, for theft of a trade name.
Easy Life, a band followed by a million listeners a month on Spotify, said on Twitter on Tuesday that “EasyJet is suing us for calling us Easy Life” and “making us change our name”.
The band said the alternative would be an “expensive legal battle that we could never afford”.
Easy Life formed in Leicester in 2017 and rose to prominence in 2020 when they won NME Best New British Act and came second in the 2020 edition of the BBC’s annual Sound of… poll of music critics and industry figures.
EasyGroup in its media statement says that the “theft of its brand” made by mr [Murray] Matravers”, the leader of the band “and his colleagues who decided to use our brand, easyLife, without permission”.
Cayman Islands-based EasyLife operates as a “retailer and distributor of home and garden problem solving products” such as garden hoses and weed killers.
The company even added that “we have a track record of legally stopping thieves from using our trademarks and we are confident that we will stop Mr. Matravers.”
EasyGroup hosts a page on its website titled “brand thieves”, in which she boasts about her legal victories against companies that have infringed on her intellectual property.
