Pop star Katy Perry loses trademark fight against Australian Katie Perry

Katy Perry (American poo singer-songwriter)

Australian designer Katie Perry has won a major legal battle against American pop star Katy Perry, giving her the official right to sell clothes under her own name. This victory comes after a long trademark dispute in Australia where the designer argued she had established her brand before the singer became a global star.

While the pop singer originally tried to have the designer’s trademark removed by claiming she was already famous when the clothing line started in 2008, the legal battle saw several twists. A lower court initially sided with the singer in 2024, but the High Court of Australia has now overturned 그hat decision on appeal. The High Court ruled in favor of the local designer, stating that there was no real risk of people confusing the two brands. Representatives for the singer noted that despite the legal disagreement, she never actually intended to shut down the Australian business.
