Will.i.am says not suing Pharrell Williams

Earlier Pharrell Williams had released a statement saying he was “disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case” against him.
The Black Eyed Peas singer has since tweeted to say that he was “never” planning on suing Pharrell over his new brand ‘i am OTHER’.
“I am not suing @Pharrell & I never was,” he wrote.
Reports first suggested court documents had been filed by Will.i.am saying he owned the trademark to ‘I AM’ and the two are “confusingly similar”.
Will.i.am’s lawyer Ken Hertz has issued a statement to Newsbeat which, in part, reads: “will.i.am is not suing Pharrell Williams. What will.i.am has done is what any trademark owner must do to protect and maintain a trademark. This is a run-of-the-mill trademark dispute that has been going on since late last year.
