Katy Perry didn’t sue the Oz designer; was busy bathing naked with pizza!
- 1 Comment
Katy Perry has clarified that she has not taken any legal action against her namesake Australian designer nor did she intend to.
Contactmusic reports that The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker has now acknowledged the row in a post on her website – but insists she never planned to take legal action over the issue and accuses the press of blowing the issue out of proportion.
Last week Katy Perry posted a provocative photo of herself lying nude in a bathroom, with a tray of half-eaten pizza protecting her modesty. The stunner was halfway through her world tour when she fell ill in Milan, Italy,
reports The China Daily.
After being unable to eat for three days, Katy wrote about her “sexual attraction” to foods including crispy beef, curry and pizza.
She said: “Why is it that after not eating for three days all i can think of is food… food is smiling at me… luring me with sexual seduction (sic).

Just to be crystal clear here… lawyers acting for the singer are taking a “legal action” to remove the recently approved trademark of the designer. It is not a lawsuit, but it is a hearing with IP Australia, where the firm representing the singer are proposing to make a case for why they should be allowed to give a formal opposition beyond the normal time limits. Such a hearing is a legal action, even though it is not in a court. This is called for July 10.
The trademark is number 1264761; and by using public search facilities at the website of IP Australia you will be able to confirm the history of the actions taken by the singer’s lawyers, and the legal procedures for trademark registration, approval and opposition.
I can well believe that this happened fairly automatically without the singer’s direct involvement at first. However, by now if the singer is genuine about not wanting to take legal action against the fashion label, then she needs to inform her lawyers to back off. If they don’t, she is the responsible party for the attack on the trademark, and on the business which has been using this label from at least Nov 2007, before Katy Perry hit the charts in Australia.
