Bob Marley's widow Rita and their nine children
have settled a trademark lawsuit with the reggae legend's half-brother.
The Marleys accused Richard Booker of using his connection to the late "One
Love" singer to promote fish produce and concerts in Miami under his Mama Marley
banner.

They filed a lawsuit for trademark infringement and unauthorised use of the
singer's likeness in late 2011, and now both parties have come to an undisclosed
agreement after settling the matter out of court.
Booker's lawyer, Robert Scholz, tells TMZ.com, "This was a very sensitive
case because the legacy of a great man and family were at stake. From what I
have learned about Bob Marley, he would be very happy, especially that his
family is now at peace. Both parties were happy with the settlement
agreement."
