According to TMZ, Pharrell hit back with a lawsuit in an attempt to protect his right to use the moniker - before will.i.am counter sued and claimed he has a copycat history.
TMZ claims they have obtained new legal docs, in which Will.i.am is countersuing Pharrell, claiming Pharrell has a long, copycat history. Will.i.am notes ... Pharrell co-founded a record label called Star Trak
Entertainment.
Keep in mind Pharrell is being sued by Marvin Gaye's family for allegedly ripping off "Got to Give it Up" for his summer smash "Blurred Lines."
Will claims Pharrell also tried to register the trademark, Pink Slime -- which Will says is similar to Slime, owned by Mattel.
Pharrell using "I AM," Will points out it will confuse people because they're both on the same Interscope record label and they have similar musical style.
Music lawyers are cleaning up right now. All of these lawsuits and where does the money end up in the hands of lawyers.
