De Zweedse supergroep ABBA heeft de Engelse coverband ABBA Mania voor de rechter gedaagd wegens merkinbreuk. De kwestie werd uiteindelijk minnelijk geschikt.

Abba is een supergroep en zeker een bekend merk. De groep werd in 1972 opgericht en won in 1974 het Eurovisiesongfestival met het nummer Waterloo. Sinds die tijd verkocht de band meer dan 200 miljoen Lp's en 370 miljoen platen. In 1983 stopte de groep om in november 2021 weer een nieuwe plaat uit te brengen.

Abba Mania

Abba Mania startte in 2000 als coverband in de UK. In oktober 2021 is in de Verenigde Staten een tournee van Abba Mania-shows van start gegaan. De groep heeft de afgelopen twintig jaar in de hele wereld concerten gegeven.
