Katy Perry wins appeal in trademark case against Katie Taylor

[Teletubby 134,045]

Australian designer says she is devastated and heartbroken by US singer’s successful appeal, adding ‘trademark isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on’

Sydney designer Katie Taylor, who sells clothes under her birth name Katie Perry , sued the singer in October 2019 because the performer was selling her own merchandise.

Perry, whose real name is Katheryn Hudson, on Friday successfully appealed the 2023 federal court findings that her firm, Kitty Purry, had engaged in trademark infringement during the 2014 Australian tour.

Three appeal judges unanimously overturned the original findings and ordered that Taylor’s trademark be deregistered

The judges described the case as an “unfortunate one” in which two enterprising women in different countries had adopted their names as a trademark.

The court also mentioned that Katy had proposed a 'coexistence agreement' with Taylor which she turned down, and which would have been an 'excellent outcome for both parties.'

I mean, the Katy we know shouldn’t be blamed for that. There’s enough things she’s actually guilty of
