Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, the world-renowned production duo behind The Neptunes, are locked in a legal battle over the rights to their group's name. Williams has filed trademark applications for "The Neptunes" encompassing music recordings, streaming entertainment, and merchandise. Hugo's legal team contests these filings, arguing that Williams has no right to claim sole ownership of the trademark without Hugo's involvement and consent.

The representative further emphasizes that Williams' actions are solely intended to protect the name from being acquired by a third party.
