The artist and his merchandising partner have requested a court order to allow the seizure of unofficial goods at an upcoming Newark concert.
Bruce Springsteen and his official merchandising partner have taken legal action against bootleg goods ahead of a home state concert. A new filing from Live Nation’s Merch Traffic requests a New Jersey court to authorize local law enforcement and US Marshals to seize counterfeit merchandise.
The injunction specifically targets sales around Springsteen’s April 20th performance at Newark’s Prudential Center. It states that the unauthorized items copy the general appearance of the artist’s licensed products.
While Springsteen’s music often champions working class struggles, this move highlights the ongoing commercial and legal battles over artist branding at major live events. The filing seeks a pre show order to prevent the sale of infringing goods, a common but rarely detailed step in protecting trademark rights at concert venues.
