A year after Neil Young launched a new backing band called The Chrome Hearts, the rock legend is now facing a surprising new problem: A trademark infringement lawsuit from a decades-old fashion brand with the exact same name.

The case, filed Thursday, comes from Chrome Hearts, a luxury brand that’s been using that name since the late 1980s for apparel, jewelry and accessories. Its lawyers say the name of Young’s new group – which debuted last year and released an album this summer – is clearly infringing the company’s “unique and valuable” name.
