seeing that Los Cadetes de Linares's contract had ended with Ramex Records, applied and bought the legal rights to perform as the authentic Cadetes de Linares, instead of Tijerina. Cantu and Tijerina both formed their own bands. Eventually, after litigation over the name at the USPTO, Ramex Records ended up owning the trademark "Los Cadetes de Linares". The label later sold the trademark to Zamic Records of Houston, Texas. Many bands subsequently formed with the name "Cadetes de Linares", to Tijerina's irritation. Tijerina died from respiratory problems shortly after performing the opening song at a concert in Ciudad Fernández, San Luis Potosí on July 5, 2016. References Mexican musical groups
