Overview
- Australian designer Katie Jane Taylor may continue selling clothing under the 'Katie Perry' label after the High Court's ruling.
- Judges found insufficient evidence that, at the relevant time, Australian buyers associated the pop star's name with apparel.
- The decision reverses a previous order that would have deleted the designer's trademark rights.
- The dispute began in 2008–2009 following cease-and-desist demands and wound through multiple court reversals before reaching the High Court.
- Taylor celebrated the outcome on Instagram, describing it as a victory for small businesses.
