A court ruling last year that favored Katie Taylor over products sold by the pop diva during a 2014 tour of Australia was overturned by three appeals judges on Friday.
According to the judges, Perry had established an “international reputation” in the entertainment industry by the time she launched her company, and she had been using her name as a trademark for five years prior.
Taylor’s trademark registration was also revoked by the judges on Friday.
“David and Goliath” was how Taylor had described her legal battle with Perry. Following Friday’s decision, she told the Sydney Morning Herald that she was “devastated” by the case’s conclusion.
The case between two industrious ladies who utilized their names as trademarks without knowing the other existed was deemed “unfortunate” by the appeals court.
