Producer Katharina Trebitsch's Hamburg-based Trebitsch Produktion Int had planned to sell jewelry, cigarettes and diapers under the name Marlene, but after her company was sued by the German unit of U.S. rights holder Marlene Inc., the Marlene Dietrich Collection, a Munich District Court ruled in April, 2000 that a Marlene brand of products would be "widely understood as indicating Marlene Dietrich" and constituted illegal use of the protected name.
