Melbourne, Mar 11 (ANI): Robert Burck, also known as The Naked Cowboy, has reached an out of court agreement with his rival, the Naked Cowgirl.

According to the New York Post, Burck, 40, has agreed to drop his suit against ex-stripper Sandra Brodsky, who he had accused of stealing his act.

An out-of-court deal said Brodsky can keep calling herself Naked Cowgirl so long as she adds her stage name “Sandy Kane” immediately before or after the valuable moniker.

In return, the bikini-wearing busker promised to drop an application to the US Trademark Trials and Appeals Board to cancel the cowboy’s official trademark.

Burck’s Manhattan federal court suit had accused his foul-mouthed counterpart of damaging his brand with a raunchy act that included making “obscene gestures” while being photographed by tourists at the Crossroads of the World.

“We don’t approve of the way she’s doing business, and we want it known that we’re in no way affiliated with her,” the Daily Telegraph quoted the cowboy’s spokesman, Todd Rubenstein, as saying.

He called the legal battle ‘a situation that could go on forever and ever and ever”.

“We’re not interested in that,” he added.

Brodsky said the settlement showed that “I’m a winner, the cowboy’s a loser. And people like winners, don’t they?”

She is also commemorating the court case with a new song that calls Burck “a boy named Sue” and warns: “Be careful what you say or do, or he’ll sue you too.”

“I don’t care how cute he is, I don’t trust him. I promoted his show, then he sued me,” she added. (ANI)
