Woof-Tang Clan, which operates out of Brooklyn, has been accused of using an appropriation of the Staten Island group's name and logo.
Diggs has owned the "Wu-Tang" (http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4805:r1vk7l.3.2) and "Wu-Tang Clan" (http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4805:r1vk7l.2.1) trademarks since Feb. 24, 2009, but Woof-Tang Clan filed for its own trademark (http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4809:ddqa9k.3.1) on June 8, 2017. According to recently filed court papers unpacked by the Daily News, Diggs says this is a violation of his registered trademarks, and that the group's name and logo have been “unmistakably associated” with the group since the 1990s.
