It's good day for LL Cool J. Rock the Bells Hip-Hop Festival now has to have LL Cool J's permission to use the name.
LL filed suit against the promoters last year since the festival was using the title of LL's classic track from 1985.
The judge ruled that LL Cool J is the "exclusive owner" of the Rock the Bells trademark. Anyone wanting to use those words for promotion or merchandise must go through him.
Now, they must turn over everything related to Rock the Bells by May 10th.
