Katy Perry loses trademark battle over her name
Katy Perry has lost a trademark battle over her name.
The pop star - who was born Katheryn Hudson - was sued for trademark infringement by Australian fashion designer Katie Taylor - who runs a clothing brand using her birth name of Katie Perry - and a judge Down Under ruled against the singer on Friday (28.04.23) by confirming the 'Roar' star had breached Katie's trademark several times.
In her ruling, Justice Brigitte Markovic wrote: "This is a tale of two women, two teenage dreams and one name."
The Katie Perry brand was set up in 2006 before being trademarked, and the designer claimed merchandise sold during the singer's subsequent Australian tours were in breach.

Asked if he had had "a thing" with Diana, he told The Guardian newspaper: "Yes, we did. [For] about a year. I was married at the time. We were working together and it just happened. But it was beautiful.
"She's a beautiful lady, and I love her right till today. She's one of my closest people.
"She was young and trying to get her career together. I was trying to help her. I brought her to Motown, in fact. I wasn't going after her and she wasn't going after me. It just happened."
