Australian designer Katie Perry wins trademark appeal vs Katy Perry
AI Summary
Australian designer Katie Perry (now Taylor) has won a High Court appeal in a trademark dispute against US pop star Katy Perry. The case, which began in 2009, centers on the designer's clothing brand, established in 2007, and the singer's merchandise sales in Australia. While the singer's lawyers initially requested Taylor cease using the name, Taylor continued building her brand, unaware of the singer's existence. The High Court ruled that Taylor's brand did not cause confusion or damage the singer's reputation, upholding Taylor's trademark. Although a previous ruling favored the singer, the High Court's decision allows Taylor to maintain her brand, while some issues raised by the singer have been sent back to the full federal court.
