John Wayne's heirs sue Duke university
Posted Jul 9, 2014
Heirs of the late movie legend John Wayne have filed a lawsuit against Duke University over use of the "Duke" nickname , which the family wants to register for use in marketing bourbon and other alcoholic beverages, CBS Los Angeles reported Tuesday. According to the lawsuit filed July 3 in federal court in Santa Ana, Wayne's heirs have battled with the North Caroline university over the nickname since 2005, when Duke filed an objection to an attempt by the family to register the name in connection with restaurant services.
