The licensing company that controls the name and image of Elvis Presley sends a cease-and-desist letter to Las Vegas wedding chapel operators, telling them to halt unauthorised use of 'Presley's name, likeness, voice image, and other elements of Elvis Presley's persona.'
The company that controls the name and image of Elvis Presley is ordering Las Vegas chapel operators to stop using his likeness in themed ceremonies, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"We are a family-run business, and now we're hanging with the big dogs," said Kayla Collins, who operates LasVegasElvisWeddingChapel.com and the Little Chapel of Hearts with her husband. The city's wedding industry generates US$2 billion a year, and officials say Elvis-themed weddings represent a significant number of the ceremonies performed.
