Title: Lou is even suing his own brother for using the name "Ferrigno Fitness"..

LOL

What a nut...



In answer to the questions that have been raised concerning the disclaimer put on our website concerning Lou Ferrigno, I would like to explain in the following paragraph. I Andy Ferrigno have been in the Fitness business since 1980 doing business as Ferrigno Fitness . For the first fifteen years of business I had the pleasure of working side by side with my father Matt Ferrigno . We built a great business by manufacturing quality fitness equipment at a price that people can afford. We treated every person as an individual and built a solid reputation on honesty and integrity. In 2001 after my father developed stomach cancer which later turned fatal, I moved my family out to Bethlehem Pennsylvania and closed our New York store. I now have only one location which is located in Stewartsville New Jersey which has been open since 1980 and use the same ideas that made us so successful in the past. Unfortunately we are currently being sued by Lou Ferrigno my brother for the rights to the Ferrigno name .

After my fathers death my brother Lou befriended me and my wife and I thought we could rekindle a relationship that was estranged many years earlier, He however used my friendship as a chance to attack me and my family. He levied a Law suit against us knowing full well all the facts that I outlined above. He did this knowing full well that my wife was battling stage two breast cancer. I worry about her everyday and thank the lord for every precious moment that we spend together. Currently my wife is under a great deal of anxiety and stress because of this ridiculous law suit , but I know that God will guide our path. Please read the attached article and realize that life sometimes can be a rocky road however if you stay on course you will eventually reach your goals. Thank you all for reading my story and may God bless you as he has done for me and my family.


Thank You
Andy Ferrigno

I don't see how Lou Ferrigno could possibly win such a lawsuite. He can't trademark a name which also belongs to someone else. It would be like someone making a company called "Smith Inc" and then suing anyone else who uses "Smith" in their company name...

I'd be surprised if he was suing about the actual name since he'd have no case... whether his brother and his dad used his "likeness" without his permission to promote their business is another story...

having said that i'd like to see where lou has permission to use the term "the incredible hulk" when promoting himself though...

Sounds kind of like what Rorion Gracie did to the rest of his family regarding the name "Gracie Jui-Jitsu".  He copyrighted it, so none of the other family members could use it.

Actually you can.  Rorian Gracie did it with the Gracie name.  He owns the trademark for which it is used.  Not the name but the use.  Not sure how it is now but back when he first started doing this, his family members had to pay him $5,000 a year for 5 years then after 5 years they could use it for nothing.  Caused allot fo shit to happen within the family.  Not exactly sure on the numbers butI know I am close.  It is for usage of the name in a specific classification.

If you have ever seen a picture of his daughter, you know why he's going after his brother. Trying to whore out his baby girl would be a bad idea . . . She's a pig. Picture Lous face on a chick  :-X

I often wonder if his wife puts him up to this type of thing. She looks like a bitch. If you have ever seen Lou interviewed you'd know this guy does not have two clues to rub together. A very simple guy.

Only you were born with that surname too and you built the company up whilst your brother was sitting at tables in expo's ruining everybodies day by ripping them off then being rude to them.

the Gracies are a complex history...I live in Brasil, so i met already some of them here...But the family its gigantic, and everyone wants to use the name since it means $$...
 I myself only respect Helio Gracie and his sons (Rickson, Royler, Royce)...There are some really good fighters in the other 'sides' of the family, but all of them are known as really low individuals...(im talking about the ones who live in brasil or are always here)
 But about the Ferrigno thing, Jesus, the guy is really a asshole...Ahnold should punch him and make him a little bitch, the same way he did when the 2 competed against each other  ;D

Straight from one of the Gracies' mouths:

Carley Gracie:I was quite surprised to learn a few years ago that Rorion had registered the name "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu", and was starting to sue other members of the Gracie family, saying they could not use the Gracie name in connection with jiu-jitsu instruction in the United States. My cousin Rorion also started a publicity campaign to "alter" Gracie history, flooding the magazines with false claims, such as his story that my Uncle Hélio (rather than my father Carlos) was the creator of the Gracie style. The rest of the Gracie family does not agree with Rorion's approach, and Rorion has become the headache of the Gracie family. I was the one who intervened by filing a lawsuit challenging Rorion's false advertising and his attempt to appropriate the "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu" name. This matter has been in the courts for over two years already and we will be going to trial in November. The Gracie family always had a tradition of never fighting each other in public, and I think it is a rather sad change to see this family of great fighters paying lawyers instead of solving this ourselves.

I knew the Ferrigno family well in Brooklyn, NY. There was always an edge to this
family. I had breakfast with Lou and his son at the 04 Olympia. I remember speaking to Lou and his boy. We got around to talking about family. I told his son that there is nothing  more important in life than the bond of family, and when all others have turned
their backs on you your family will always be there. I hope Lou sees this post and
remembers that he strongly agreed with me. Bad feelings should not be taken to
the grave. Life is much too short.

Listen I told you what happened. Rorian is an attorney (not to say that means much) but he is smart about business.  This happened back in the early 90's.  I know it happened.  I know he was chargin a fee for other Gracies to use the name.  He had the trademark.  It was taken as a martial arts school category and I think clothing which is Int. Class 025.  Not sure about the schools class.  I don't know how long this lasted or what the ultimate conclusion was but I do see numerous Gracie schools out there so something was worked out.

Yes you can sue someone else if they are using your name in their business only if you have the name trademarked, or copyrighted.

For example, Microsoft sued a teenager in USA; for his own personal website that had his name as the websites address, but when you sounded it out it sounded exactly like Microsoft. The dude's name was Mike crowsoft or something along those lines. In the end the dude had to close down his website because of it. This happened back a good ten years or so ago. I'm sure you can find it on google some where.

Same thing with StarBucks Coffee, some Canada native town Coffee up north in B.C. had bucks in its name and was sued by StarBucks for it.

You are right you can ignorance, but it will cost you bigtime.  Microsoft are a little bigger than Lou and have more of a leg to stand on as clearly the kid's primary intention was to deceive in order to profit from the deception. 

There may be more to the ferrigno story though, it depends if they were using Lou's likeness in any of their ads or anything.

Once again Lou goes above & beyond to re-establish his claim as the biggest f*cking a*shole in not only BB'ing (in which he was a 2nd Tier at best BB'er) but as one of the tops in the entire Universe.

lou's bro is a little on the bulky side, but a big difference is he usually has a smile on his face and is on the friendly side. just like his father and mother were years ago. his father who was a big dude was overly helpful he tried to show me how to use a roman chair only to bang his head on the wall which was too close behind him. he then went to move a lat machine into a better position only to gash open his hand by grabbing at a bad spot. but through it all he kept his smile and was friendly.

Eight years ago when I was 20 I went to the Arnold Classic and basked in the glory of Ferrigno.

I was having an awesome time, as I had just fought my way to shake Arnold's hand when he was making his rounds, and had also spent a few minutes talking to Ralf Moeller.  This was right around when that terrible Conan the Adventurer show was on, and I told Ralf that I had seen it a few times.  He laughed and thanked me for staying up so late (I think it was on at like 1 or 2 am at the time). 

Then I came upon Lou's booth.  I was a huge fan, as I had always felt sorry for him in Pumping Iron, and had also bought and read his book.  I had brought it along in case I saw him because I wanted to ask him to sign it. I waited in line and finally walked up to the 'Incredible Hulk'.

Me - Hey Lou! I'm a huge fan, could I get you to sign your book?

Lou - (Turns to the other dude he was with) Did he pay? (Dude solmnly shakes his head no) Buy another copy of my book?  (Points to stacked copies of the exact same freaking book I have in my hand.)

Me - Uh, no Lou, I've got your book!

Lou - Then buy a poster. 

Me - Uh, no thanks.  I just wanted to know if you'd sign my book and maybe get a picture?

Lou - (Points to sign) Picture 20 dollars.

I then must have given him a nice WTF look because he moved on to the next person.

That's when I realized that Lou is a greedy mongoloid POS.

If I just read the stories, I'd be tempted to think that people were exaggerating about his arrogant a$$.
But nope, he's earned his rep.

I went to see Lou in Madison Squre Garden two years ago at a Sci-Fi show . I mainley went to see him and the people from Star Trec .After  seeing the  Star Trec people I walked over to Lou booth with my 7 year old son,he was so excited he was finally going to see the Incredible Hulk that I had spoke of so many times. I then dropped sixty bucks on a picture and DVD and his book. We then left pretty happy and headed off to eat at the famous Carmines restaurant in NY. After about one hour low and behold Lou walked in we were so excited, he however yelled at the girl taking reservations because she was moving to slow. He told her do you know who I am and she responded no, he then screamed at her and demanded to see the Manager. After a few minutes he was seated to our right and everthing seemed normal. We then finished dinner and started to leave ,I told my son lets say goodby to Lou as we approached his table I proudly had the book and DVD in my hand. I got to about ten feet of his table when my son bolted ahead of me all excited, he got within two feet of Lou when a big guy grabbed him by the arm and told him to get away. I then caught up and explained to him and Lou that we just saw him at the show and meekly held up my DVD and book. Lou then turned to me and told me to get the hell away from him , he said and I quote I am tired of you bastards always bothering me take your whining son and your skinny ass and get the hell out of here. To say the least I was appauled but also realized I would get pummeled If i did not leave, I then turned and headed for the door but before I reached it I saw a trash can under the front desk, I kindly asked the Matron to throw Lou DVD picture and book out  in the garbage where it and Lou belongs.  I can honestly say that I have never been treated in such a rude manner by anyone in my whole life Lou is nothing but a money hungry SOB and deserves everthing he gets.
