One Direction have settled a dispute with a US group of the same name. The agreement will allow the UK group to continue using the name.
Both sides released a statement earlier today saying they're pleased with the outcome and that the US group will now go by the name Uncharted Shores.
The American punk band had announced plans to sue Liam, Niall, Zayn, Harry, and Louis' group earlier this year when a $1 million lawsuit was filled. It was later reported that the "What Makes You Beautiful" stars management were planning to countersue the US band for attempting to make money off the UK groups success.
One Direction is currently back in the US currently getting ready for their performance on Thursday night's MTV Video Music Awards. The band made many headlines last week when they announced the title of their second album, Take Me Home, which became available for pre-order yesterday and is already #1 on iTunes charts around the world.
