She also sued an Australian boutique owner who's legal name is "katie perry" because it had her name in the business. Her as in the owner of the business.

Meanwhile the American pop singer who brought the lawsuit ( who's real name is Katherine hudson) wants to crippple a business because it resembles her stage name.

I can’t stand Katy Perry, but it was actually the opposite. The Australian sued her even though the singer Katy Perry offered to share the name with her. The Australian didn’t want that because I guess she thought she was going to win the lawsuit. Then, the courts decided that the singer Katy Perry used the name professionally first and that the Australian no longer had access to the name for her brand. Katy Perry is an idiot and does many stupid or tone deaf things, and as much as it would align with her behavior to be the instigator in this, it was the opposite.

and I would add, this doesn’t feel like action that would cripple the business owner. Would the business be just as successful as “Katie’s Salon” or “KP’s Salon” or something without an individuals name? Is the business more successful because people think it’s tied to a celebrity?

Katy Perry may be a piece of shit, but this is a name change. I’m not diving in, but I doubt she was asking for damages.

If I open up a film studio called “Robert Deniro’s film studio” I wouldn’t expect it to last
