Will.i.am Claims He Owns The Phrase ''I AM'' - And Is Suing Pharrell

Will.i.am apparently owns the rights to the phrase "I AM" and, to prove the point, he's slapped Pharrell's creative brand i am OTHER with a lawsuit. That sounds like a joke, right? But I am dead serious!

According to sources at Rolling Stone, Pharrell's "confusingly similar" brand has got under Will.i.am's skin - and now The Voice judge has apparently filed legal claims against his fellow musician:
"The registration of the mark . . . is likely to dilute the I AM mark and the WILL.I.AM mark."

And, while Will.i.am's camp have remained uncharacteristically quiet about the claims, Pharrell has given a statement to Rolling Stone. Well, he isn't too pleased about how things have panned out:
"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."
