Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

group singers

The question pertains to a musical group. I have been working with two other singers for one year now. I have paid for rehersals, music preparation, studios, musicians, sound recordings and video demos. Now , one or possibly both of them will not work with me any longer( I am a singer in the group myself). My question. If they don't use my service mark but secure another singer and do the same composers music and the same theme, In the same style, Can I issue a cease and desist based on my financial contributions to the project and their removing themselves from my project?

Re: group singers

Your issues are way too complex to be addressed after reading only what you have provided so far. An attorney will need more information to give you any intelligent advice with respect to your situation. Generally speaking, you almost certainly have some rights to assert with respect to your (former?) partnership.
