There’s enough Supernova for everyone.

At least according to the settlement reached by an Orange County punk band called Supernova and the CBS reality show “Rock Star: Supernova.”

Under an agreement announced this week, the punk band will keep its name and the TV band will be known as “Rock Star Supernova.”

The original Supernova, which has recorded three albums under the name since 1991, sued CBS, the show’s participants and Mark Burnett Productions in June claiming unfair competition and trademark infringement.

“Rock Star: Supernova,” which began airing July 5, followed 15 contestants who aspired to become the lead singer of a new rock band that includes former Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke and former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted. The winner, Lukas Rossi, will perform with the group beginning New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas.
