THE BIG STORY: Barry’s Brand

Barry Manilow’s lawyers have been busy. Last summer, they got into a trans-Atlantic brawl with Hipgnosis over $1.5 million in allegedly unpaid bonuses from his catalog sale. Now they’re launching an appeal to secure “Copacabana” trademarks.

The star’s attorneys are seeking protection over a number of brand names tied to the 1978 megahit, including like “Barry Manilow’s Copacabana Hotel & Casino” and “Barry Manilow’s Copa.” It’s unclear exactly what’s planned – and his reps wouldn’t say.
