(FILES)A file photo taken in 1976 shows Jamaican reggae star Bob Marley. A US court has sided with Bob Marley's family which sued a company that sold shirts depicting the reggae legend, in a case with potential ramifications for merchandise of other deceased stars. The estate of the Jamaican icon had filed a suit after low-cost T-shirts -- featuring a photo of a speaking Marley next to the yellow, green and red colors associated with his Rastafarian faith -- went on sale at Walmart, Target and other major US retailers. A jury in the western state of Nevada in 2011 awarded more than $2 million in damages to firms owned by Marley's children which said they had lost an order to sell T-shirts at Walmart as the unauthorized rival was distributing a similar product. The defendants lodged an appeal that was rejected on February 20, 2015 by a federal court, which agreed that the non-family companies violated the 1946 Lanham Act, the key US law on copyright infringement. = RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT " AFP PHOTO / HANDOUT/" - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS =
