Michael Jackson Estate Settles with Heal the World

Until I see or know for sure that Michael himself is on this board, HTWF will never get another dime from me.  Sorry.  But that’s my decision.

Contradicting news that Estate does not allow Heal the World use Michael's name.  :?

Michael Jackson Lawyers 'Take Back' Trademarks
           

Michael Jackson's estate executors have dismissed reports they've agreed to allow bosses of the Heal the World Foundation to use the King of Pop's name, insisting they are "taking back" all the Thriller hitmaker's trademarks.

Reports on Tuesday (19Apr11) suggested officials at the organisation had worked out a deal with Jackson's executors on Monday (18Apr11) allowing them to utilise the pop superstar's moniker.

But lawyers involved in the case have now spoken out, insisting Heal the World Foundation owner Melissa Johnson is barred from using Jackson's name.

A spokesman for the estate executors tells WENN, "The estate is taking back the Heal the World Foundation and all of the Michael Jackson trademarks it allegedly owned. The Michael Jackson Estate owns the Heal the World name, and neither Melissa Johnson nor her companies will ever be able to use Michael Jackson's name or the Heal the World name."

Please find below a statement from the Co-Executors of the Estate.

-------------------------------------

Please let the fans know that we are aware of the many questions from the fan community regarding the recent settlement of the HTWF lawsuit. The Estate will need at least ninety days to gather information, as well as all of the property that will be coming back to the Estate from Melissa Johnson and the HTWF. We want the fans to rest assured that all decisions on the use of a charitable foundation or, as an alternative, making direct contributions to recipient charities, and any and all personnel decisions, will be made with complete regard to Michael’s wishes and Michael’s legacy, which we intend to honor and perpetuate. We also value the opinions of Michael’s fans who, above all, have shown unwavering support for Michael and his legacy. We therefore want to assure the fans that all actions being taken by the Estate, past, present and future, will be guided by the paramount objective of doing the right thing by Michael.
