Aussie Gurls v California Gurls | Case by Case (Ep. 63)

Case by Case – episode 63: Aussie gurls v California gurls
Katie Perry vs Katy Perry

Delighted to be joined by Dr Romina Santos Reyftmann on the pod this week. Romina is our Pro Bono Coordinator at Zeiler Floyd Zadkovich. We recorded this episode, “Last Friday Night” – well kind of. The Aussie, Ms Katie Taylor – the “Dark Horse” in this case brought a trademark infringement claim against the “Roar”ing, global superstar Ms Katheryn Hudson, aka Katy Perry. It could have been a “Teenage Dream” if Taylor and Hudson had only collaborated together professionally. Instead, Hudson toured Australia, selling her clothes and other merchandise at her concerts that infringed on Taylor’s ‘Katie Perry’ trademark. Then, there were “Firework”s! Katie Taylor (nee Perry) said the trademark was, “Part of Me”. I’m guessing this litigation would have kept her “Wide Awake” over the years, with a lot on the line. The Court was “Hot n Cold”. Taylor won in some respects and not others. But overall, I reckon Taylor would have felt like it was her “Birthday” when the judgment was published and just hope she’s not “Waking Up in Vegas” after celebrating. Katy Perry must look at this as “The One That Got Away”. She could have resolved this much earlier for much less, I’m guessing. Hopefully she would now say, “‘If We Ever Meet Again’, … we could be friends.” Reviewing case judgments on a podcast is “Not Like the Movies”, but this may be as close as we get…
