Outkast Files Lawsuit Against EDM Duo ATLiens Over Trademark Dispute

The hip-hop legends claim the EDM group is infringing on their longstanding 'ATLiens' trademark, originally coined in 1996.

Outkast's trademark holding company, High Schoolers LLC, initiated the lawsuit in federal court.
The lawsuit alleges the EDM duo registered the 'ATLiens' name without Outkast's consent in 2020.
Outkast argues the term 'ATLiens' was invented by them and has been used continuously for nearly 30 years.
The hip-hop duo seeks to prevent the EDM group from using the name and requests financial damages.
Efforts to resolve the issue amicably were unsuccessful, leading to the legal action.
