Black Eyed Peas front man Will.i.am is taking legal action against Pharrell Williams. According to Rolling Stone, Will says he owns the copyright to the phrase "I Am," and claims in court documents that Pharrell's "I Am Other" brand "is likely to dilute the I AM mark and the WILL.I.AM mark."
Will further claims that Pharrell's logo used on his clothing and other merchandise are too similar to his own logo.
Pharrell responded to the lawsuit in a statement to Rolling Stone.
I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me. I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions. I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will's trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as meritless and ridiculous as I do.

Rihanna is taking steps to ensure her safety after a crazed fan was recently caught on the roof of her house.
A man by the name of Robert Melanson somehow managed to get on the roof of her home on June 17. He had detailed property maps in his possession at the time.
Melanson was caught by security and placed under psychiatric evaluation for two days and released. A judge has ordered him to stay at least 100 yards from Riri, her home and place of business, according to TMZ.
Despite the court order, Rihanna still fears for her safety because of Melanson's mental instability and criminal history. She is hoping the restraining order is made permanent on July 10.
This is not the first time the singer has had trouble with a stalker. In March she got a 3-year restraining order against Steveland Barrow.
Barrow broke into Rihanna's neighbor's home believing it was hers. He stole personal items from the house and even slept in one of the beds before being caught and arrested.

Chris Brown has official been charged criminal hit-and-run in connection with a minor car accident in May.
The singer was driving with Karrueche Tran last month when he rear ended a Mercedes. Pictures of the accident show both Brown and Tran outside of their vehicle talking to the driver of the other car, who later claimed Breezy gave her false insurance information and refused to give out his driver license number before leaving the scene.
According to TMZ, L.A.'s City Attorney has now filed charges against Brown for driving without a valid license and hit and run. If convicted the singer could face 6 months in jail for each charge.
What makes matters worse is Brown is already on probation for his 2009 assault of Rihanna. The City Attorney is turning the case over to the District Attorney, who could determine that the singer has violated his probation.
If that happens he could soon be in front of a judge facing the possibility of four years in jail.
Brown took to Twitter to deny the allegation that he didn't give the other driver the proper information.

Police are looking for a man who broke into the home of a Milburn, New Jersey woman and brutally beat her while her 3-year old daughter watched.
The woman was watching cartoons with her daughter on June 21 when the man kicked through a dead bolted door and attacked her. A nanny cam captured what happened next as the thug punched, kicked and then threw the woman down a flight of stairs while her daughter sat frozen on the couch.
"I knew that if I started screaming, my daughter would, too, and I was afraid she would get hurt," the mother told News 12. "I took it. I didn't cry the entire time. They need to help us get him off the street. He's not just a burglar, he's violent."
The unidentified woman suffered a concussion, as well as leg and face injuries. Her 3-year old daughter and 1-year old son, who was asleep upstairs were not harmed. The burglar escaped with some jewelry.
The woman and her husband asked that the video be released to the public.
“They wanted to show how violent this person is because they want him caught as much as we do,” Capt. Michael Palardy told the Daily News. “And we’re not going to sleep until this guy is caught.”
