An Australian court has ruled that Katy Perry infringed the trademark of a Sydney-based fashion designer, Katie Taylor, who has sold her products locally under a label with her birth name "Katie Perry".

Katie Taylor, who filed the lawsuit in 2019, alleged the singer ignored the trademark and sold Katy Perry clothing to Australian customers during her concert tours in the country through retailers and websites.

Federal court judge Brigitte Markovic ruled that Katy Perry's company Kitty Purry partially infringed the trademark of Katie Taylor's business, which sells mostly clothes online, by promoting the singer's products through posts on social media, a court filing out on Thursday showed.

Damages are due to decided at a later date.

"This is a tale of two women, two teenage dreams and one name," Markovic said in her judgment.

how bad is her lawyer for her to lose this? :messga:

Right? Like I don't know the specifics but surely they could have settled rather than take it to trial?

I can't be free if my hands are tied... 🧟‍♀️👰🏻

I very much doubt that there would have been confusion in the marketplace or that Katy Perry would have been trying to “pass off” her merch as “Katie Perry”’s, which are two of the tests for this type of case in North America. Maybe Australian law is different but this is absurd.

Exactly! Not the other way around, which is what this lawsuit is assuming.
