Singer Katy Perry won a court order to use her own name after Katy Taylor, who sells clothes under her birth name Katy Perry, sued her, saying her products infringed on copyright.
Three judges reversed on Friday, November 22 decision according to which the pop star violated copyright law by selling clothes under his own name during a tour in Australia in 2014.
The judges said Perry had used the name as a trademark for five years before Taylor started her business, adding that by then Perry had established an "international reputation" in the entertainment industry.
The judges also invalidated the designer's trademark registration.

Taylor compared the legal battle with the singer to the fight between "David and Goliath".
After Friday's verdict for the daily Sydney Morning Herald, she said she was affected by the outcome of the case.
The court declared that it was "unfortunate" that the case pitted two ambitious women who used their names as brands and did not know each other.
"Both women put blood, tears and sweat into their work.
"As the former's fame grew internationally, the latter became aware of her namesake and filed a complaint," they said.
The judge who ruled in Taylor's favor last year quoted the lyrics of one of Perry's most popular hits: "This is a story of two women, two teenage dreams and one name."
Meanwhile, Peri is preparing for a world tour lifetimes at the beginning of 2025 in order to promote the new album "143".
