\n\tM\u00fasica\u00a0mexicana<\/em> singer-songwriter Codiciado has filed a lawsuit against his old record label, Rancho Humilde, and former bandmates in the ensemble Grupo Codiciado, claiming they stole his intellectual property by getting the band back together under the name Los Codicia2 after he went solo.<\/p>\n

\n\tCodiciado (Erick de Jes\u00fas Arag\u00f3n Alcantar) made the accusations in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday (June 10) against Rancho Humilde; the label\u2019s trio of co-founders, Jaime Humilde<\/strong>, Jose \u201cJB\u201d Becerra<\/strong> and Roque \u201cRocky\u201d Venegas<\/strong>; and former Grupo Codiciado members Alexis Aguirre, Ivan Ramirez and Giovanni Rodriguez Meza.<\/p>\n

\n\tGrupo Codiciado formed in Tijuana in 2015 and later signed with Rancho Humilde; it reached No. 8 on the Regional Mexican Albums chart with Miro Lo Que Otros No Miran<\/em> in 2018. The group disbanded in 2021, after which its lead singer, Codiciado, went solo, returning to the Billboard <\/em>charts with his song \u201cVamos Aclarando Muchas Cosas\u201d in 2023 and launching a successful tour the following year.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trouble started when Aguirre, Ramirez and Rodriguez Meza debuted a new group called Los Codicia2, pronounced \u201cLos Codiciados,\u201d under Rancho Humilde at the beginning of 2025. Codiciado claims the group\u2019s name infringes his own trademarked moniker.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe infringing mark adopted and used by defendants is practically identical to plaintiff\u2019s marks,\u201d wrote Codiciado\u2019s lawyers. \u201cThis mark differs from plaintiff\u2019s \u2018CODICIADO\u2019 mark only in that the final letter is \u2018S\u2019 and in the preceding term \u2018LOS.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCodiciado says Rancho Humilde and his former bandmates are purposefully trying to mislead fans into thinking he\u2019s affiliated with or endorses the new group, stating in the lawsuit that they\u2019re attempting to \u201ctrade on the goodwill of plaintiff\u2019s marks, cause confusion and deception in the marketplace and divert potential sales of plaintiff\u2019s products to defendants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Codiciado, this alleged wrongdoing has persisted despite his sending multiple cease-and-desist letters to the label and band. He\u2019s now seeking a court injunction to make them stop, plus monetary damages for trademark infringement, trademark dilution and unfair competition.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDefendants\u2019 acts are causing and, unless restrained, will continue to cause incalculable damage and immediate irreparable harm to plaintiff and to his valuable reputation and goodwill with the consuming public for which plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law,\u201d the lawsuit reads.<\/p>\n

\n\tRepresentatives for Codiciado declined to comment on the claims. Rancho Humilde did not immediately return requests for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
