My understanding is that Dolby is his real name, and he therefore can't be banned from using it. The result of the lawsuit states that he must always appear (and record) as "Thomas Dolby" and never just as "Dolby" in any way. Dolby trivia: before the Thompson Twins started having massive hits as a three-piece, they were a seven member band, including Dolby on keyboards. He also played all the keyboards on the album 'Four' by Foreigner! yikes! (at the tender age of three, I was hooked to a machine, just to keep my mouth fro spouting junk... HA)
