Michael Jackson’s estate has reached a settlement with the Heal the World Foundation (HTWF) over use of the late singer’s image and likeness.
According to the BBC News, the estate sued the charity in 2009, alleging it had misused trademarks to create an association with Jackson’s now defunct charity of the same name.
HTWF said Jackson’s lawyers had given it permission to run the foundation in 2005.
The charity can no longer use the Heal the World name or Jackson’s likeness.
The deal came as a trial was due to begin in a bid to decide ownership of trademarks.
Jackson’s estate had sought to block the use of words and phrases associated with the star, including “King of Pop” and “Thriller”.
