SEATTLE (AP) - The estate of rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix says it has won a trademark infringement lawsuit against a company that promoted Hendrix Electric vodka.
The Experience Hendrix and Authentic Hendrix companies in Seattle say they've won a $3.2 million federal court judgment that orders the vodka to be pulled from the market.
The family-owned companies filed the lawsuit in 2007 against Seattle businessman Craig Dieffenbach, who packaged the vodka in purple-tinted bottles with Hendrix's face and signature above the label.
Hendrix died in 1970 at age 27.
