French dance music duo Justice accused Justin Bieber of infringing their trademark in a cease-and-desist letter sent to the Canadian pop star.

Bieber’s latest album, also called Justice, was released today (March 19) to positive reviews.

The alleged trademark infringement concerns Bieber’s album cover, which features a letter “T” designed to look like a crucifix. This “trademark” had been registered by the Band (in 2008 in France and in the EU in 2014).

An article in Rolling Stone The magazine included excerpts from the letter allegedly sent to Bieber by Justice’s legal team.

“Your use of the Mark is illegal,” they wrote. “He has not received permission from the Justice to use the Mark. Additionally, Bieber’s work is in no way affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Justice. Such use of the Mark is not only illegal, but can also mislead and confuse consumers. ”

The letter instructs the “Baby” singer to stop using the design, and threatens “immediate legal action and damages including, but not limited to, punitive measures and injustices.”
