| She does own the right. It's a company trying to make money off her husband's estate, not a bunch of neighborhood kids trying to sell lemonade. I'm surprised they called it On Lemon instead of Ono Lemon or Oh No! Lemon..
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. |

^^ This. This was not a money grab. From the article linked in the OP. quote: A spokesman for Yoko’s legal team said: “John Lennon’s heirs do not want his name being used for commercial purposes.
“A fair settlement was agreed and the company paid Yoko Ono about £9,000, which is not a lot. Not a huge fan of either John or Yoko, but anyone who wants to use both the name and the likeness of a performer might be well advised to get permission beforehand. |

"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind." -Bomber Harris

| Lennon didn't have a monopoly on the name.
I took a crap in the john today. Is Yoko going to sue me?
Lennon must have loved Yoko for her mind because she was one seriously ugly chick. |
