Dr. Dre is a legend in the game, and as such, respect must be put on his name at all times. It's no wonder that he fought tooth and nail to preserve the integrity of the "Dre" brand. As it were, Dre has been in the middle of a years-long legal battle against a man by the name of Dr. Drai, who has been practicing gynecology with the trademarked name of "Doctor Drai OBGYN and Media Personality." Dre's line of reasoning being that "there can only be one," while Drai's line of reasoning fell more along the lines of "my name is my name." Unfortunately for Dr. Dre, his attempt to put a stop on all things Drai has reportedly come to a decisive end.
According to TMZ, Drai (the gyno) originally filed his trademark back in 2015, which prompted a legal response from Dre; apparently, Dre cited "confusion on the marketplace," due to the similarities of their respective names. Drai, who was born Draion M. Burch, has been using the Dr. Drai moniker for years, no doubt well-aware of the similarities. Among the books that Drai has authored include "20 Things You May Not Know About the Vagina." To be fair, Dre has also rapped at length about female anatomy. Perhaps the confusion claims held weight after all. Either way, it's Still Drai, at least for the time being - TMZ confirms that the case was indeed dismissed, after the trademark office felt that a mix-up was unlikely to occur.
