In 2016 Muñoz registered a trademark for the band's name, and began touring as the Plimsouls, without the involvement of Case, Pahoa, or Ramirez. The Plimsouls brought legal action, which was decided in their favor; the name is owned by The Plimsouls, and "further use by Muñoz of the name would only cause confusion".
