Apollonia, the actress who played her love interest in the 1984 film Purple Rain, has settled a trademark dispute with Prince's estate, ending her lawsuit seeking a court ruling affirming her right to use the name Prince gave her. The parties filed a joint notice of dismissal and did not disclose the financial conditions of the settlement. Apollonia's legal name, Patricia Kotero, had accused the estate of attempting to steal her name and claimed it was highly likely they would sue her for trademark infringement unless she obtained a judicial declaration confirming her rights to the name and related marks. The estate responded by saying it had no intention of preventing Kotero from using the name.
