Coachella Sues Moechella, Saying the DC Protests Infringe on the Music Festival’s Trademark

February 3, 2023

"Kelly says the name Moechella wasn’t used commercially, except if you count in an educational project: Johnson has now launched a program called School of Go-Go that teaches kids how to play the music, and it will open a new space next month. “The fact is that they want to stop the use of the name in the protest movement, whether or not they have the right to do it,” Kelly says. “It is a matter of law and can be decided later if they’re unwilling to come to a compromise.”
