Katy Perry Triumphs in Trademark Battle Over Name in Australia

Katy Perry secures her right to use her name after a legal clash with an Australian designer.


In a notable legal victory, singer Katy Perry has won the right to continue using her name in Australia, successfully appealing a previous court ruling that favored Australian designer Katie Taylor, who also operates under the name Katie Perry.



In a recent decision by three appeals judges, Katy Perry emerged victorious in her trademark dispute against Australian designer Katie Taylor. The judges overturned last year's ruling, emphasizing that Perry had established her name as a trademark five years prior to Taylor’s business inception. Consequently, Taylor's trademark registration was also annulled.

Taylor, who expressed her disappointment post-ruling, likened the situation to a "David and Goliath" scenario, highlighting the challenges faced by smaller businesses. The appeals judges acknowledged the unfortunate nature of the case, noting that two determined women were unaware of each other’s existence before the conflict arose.

Both parties devoted significant effort into building their respective brands, and the judges lamented that as Perry's fame surged internationally, Taylor sought trademark protection. The case has drawn parallels to Perry’s notable song, referencing the saga as a “tale of two women, two teenage dreams and one name."

As Perry prepares for her "Lifetimes" world tour in early 2025 and promotes her latest album, this ruling marks a significant chapter in her ongoing journey in the music industry.
