Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo are currently in a legal dispute over The Neptunes name.⁠ ⁠ According to a filing obtained by Billboard, Hugo is accusing Williams of trying to obtain sole rights to the legendary songwriting and production duo's name.⁠ ⁠ “Throughout their over thirty year history, [Hugo] and Williams agreed to, and in fact, have divided all assets,” Hugo's attorney, Kenneth D. Freundlich alleged in documents submitted to a federal tribunal. ⁠ ⁠ Freundlich said that Williams' holdings company, PW IP Holdings, submitted three separate applications to trademark "The Neptunes" name in 2022. Williams is accused of having “knowingly and intentionally” applied without Hugo's input, despite not having "unilateral authority to register the trademarks.”⁠ ⁠ Read the news at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📸 jonathanmannion⁠ ⁠ #Pharrell #ChadHugo #TheNeptunes
