In 2023, a first court decision ruled in favor of the Sydney fashion designer, but Katy Perry's entourage appealed this first verdict. And this Friday, November 22, the Federal Court of Australia delivered its judgment on appeal. The judges ruled that the singer had made her stage name (her civil name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson) a registered trademark five years before the “Katie Perry” clothing was created and sold. Consequently, the jury also invalidated the registration of the fashion brand named after the Australian.

Katie Perry is 'devastated'
“I lost everything, including my brand. As you can imagine, I am devastated,” the clothing designer responded to the New York Post. “Creating my brand has been a dream since I was 11 years old. Now, this dream that I worked so hard for, since 2006, has been taken away from me.” The entrepreneur now doesn't know what she's going to do, other than “maybe move to a place in the world where the name Katie Perry has no value.”
