There can be only one Lady Gaga.
The pop icon filed suit in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday against a company that’s been trying to trademark the name “Lady Gaga By Design” for a line of cosmetics and jewelry.
The suit says the company, Excite Worldwide, is aware that the US Patent and Trademark office won’t grant its request, but it’s pressing forward anyway.
“Defendants are aware that their applications will never be granted in the absence of plaintiffs’ consent, which defendants have been told will never be given,” the suit says.
As a result of Excite’s shenanigans, her application for jewelry and fragrances has yet to be granted, and there’s “confusion” in the marketplace, the suit says. The suit seeks a court order barring Excite from filing Gaga-related applications and unspecified money damages.
