Edwin Kweku Edinkrah
The CEO of Spyder Lee Entertainment, Edwin Kweku Edinkrah has come out to state that despite the tussle over legal issues that hangs on the neck of its brand, the event will still come off. Read below in his own words: We have noticed with great concern the growing level of falsehood being peddled within the media about the GN Bank People’s Choice Awards. With this release, we seek to clarify and state the facts as such.
Spyder Lee Entertainment, organizers of the GN Bank People’s Choice Awards has been involved in a legal tussle with Evolution International over the ownership of the name People’s Choice Awards.Spyder Lee Entertainment successfully and legally registered People’s Choice Awards as a business at the Registrar General’s Department and subsequently registered GN Bank People’s Choice Awards as a trademark. In April 2014, Spyder Lee Entertainment in a two week media campaign massively publicized the introduction of the awards and went on to launch the awards in November 2014. Surprisingly, weeks after the launch event, Spyder Lee Entertainment was notified of the registration of Peoples Choice Awards by Evolution International and a request to desist from the use of the name People’s Choice Awards which resulted in a law suit.
We assure all nominees and the general public of our commitment to work within the framework of the laws governing the Republic of Ghana to ensure that the awards night comes off as planned amidst all the pomp and pageantry as expected. Contrary to media reportage, the show has not been cancelled and we are still preparing towards the 21st March 2015 show and in compliance with the court order. The planning process for this awards didn’t start in 2014 and there is enough documentation available to prove that the process even started before Evolution International allegedly filed for a trademark in 2011.
