Des Moines Register: The estate of Ruthie Bisignano is suing Exile Brewing Co. for “unjustified and unpermitted” use of Bisignano’s persona to advertise the Des Moines craft brewery’s best-selling Ruthie beer. The case, filed Monday, alleges that Exile profited without permission from the use of Bisignano’s name, identity, persona, likeness and symbol. It demands that the estate of Frank Bisignano, her late husband, be compensated for damages and that the court require Exile to receive written permission from the family before using her name or image for its business.
