Katy Perry has successfully appealed a trademark decision allowing her to continue using her name in Australia after a legal conflict with Australian designer Katie Taylor. The pop star was sued by Taylor, who sells clothes under her birth name. On Friday, the appeals judges overturned a previous court ruling that had favored Taylor. The judges emphasized that Perry had been using her name as a trademark five years prior to Taylor launching her business and highlighted Perry’s "international reputation" in entertainment by that time. Consequently, they also revoked Taylor's trademark registration. Following the verdict, Taylor expressed her heartbreak to the Sydney Morning Herald, calling it "devastating." The judges remarked that it was unfortunate for both women—each of whom worked hard to establish their brands—unaware of the other's existence. Interestingly, one judge referenced Perry's iconic song, hinting at the paradox of two talented women sharing a name in a competitive landscape. The ruling arrives as Perry gears up for her anticipated Lifetimes world tour set for early 2025 to promote her upcoming album 143.
