    A spokesperson for Brando Enterprises says, "Obviously we are very pleased with the result. The judgment sends a clear message that infringers of Marlon Brando's name and image will be pursued to the fullest extent, and forced to pay substantial damages."

    Ashley Furniture Industries Inc. bosses are also battling late actor Humphrey Bogart's estate over a Bogart couch.
