Steve Perry Steps Back From Journey Trademark Claim

Former singer for Journey, Steve Perry, reportedly dropped his legal claim against one of the band’s corporations over the trademarking of 20 songs. Meanwhile, guitarist Neal Schon revealed, “Petitioner, without the written consent of Respondent, filed a withdrawal of the petition for cancellation on January 4, 2023. … In view thereof… the petition for cancellation is denied with prejudice.”

Schon implied it was a moment to celebrate with his tweet reading, “Now we can talk as we were, much for [Cain] trying to throw me under the bus as he claimed I was blatantly trying to rip off [Perry] while collecting the checks for the very diligent work my wife and I did to protect our Merch. Time for coffee.”

There are only three weeks left prior to Journey’s 2023 tour and original member Gregg Rolie is expected to join on the road, with Schon and Cain attempting to settle their legal differences. Schon recently filed a cease-and-desist claim against Cain’s wife, that alleged she was improperly accessing band bank accounts.
