The Australian singer Katy Perry has won the right to use her name.



After being sued by an Australian designer who sells

 clothing under her given name, Katy Perry, a singer, 

successfully challenged a trademark ruling 

on her name.

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 

a "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.

The judges remarked, "Both women invested blood,

 sweat, and tears into growing their enterprises."

They claimed that as one's notoriety spread around

 the world, the other learned about her namesake

 and applied for a trademark.

"This is a tale of two ladies, two youthful hopes

 and one name" is one of Perry's greatest songs, 

which the court who decided in Taylor's favor 

last year cited.

The decision was made on Friday as Perry gets

 ready to embark on her Lifetimes world tour

 in early 2025 in support of her comeback

 album 143.
