=== 1997–2005: Conflicts with Courtney Love ===
In 1997, Novoselic, Grohl and Love formed the [[limited liability company]] Nirvana LLC to oversee Nirvana projects.<ref>DeRogatis, 2003. p. 32–3</ref> A 45-track box set of Nirvana rarities was scheduled for release in October 2001.<ref name="Heath">Heath, Chris. "The Nirvana Wars: Who Owns Kurt Cobain?". ''Rolling Stone''. June 6, 2002.</ref> However, shortly before the release date, Love filed a suit to dissolve Nirvana LLC, and an injunction was issued preventing the release of any new Nirvana material until the case was resolved.<ref>DeRogatis, 2003. p. 33–4</ref> Love contended that Cobain was Nirvana, that Grohl and Novoselic were sidemen, and that she had signed the partnership agreement originally under bad advice. Grohl and Novoselic countersued, asking the court to remove Love from the partnership and to replace her with another representative of Cobain's estate.<ref name="Heath" />

The day before the case was set to go to trial in October 2002, Love, Novoselic, and Grohl announced that they had reached a settlement. The next month, the best-of compilation ''[[Nirvana (Nirvana album)|Nirvana]]'' was released, featuring the previously unreleased track "[[You Know You're Right]]", the last song Nirvana recorded.<ref>Stout, Gene.
