Lady Gaga is being sued by surfboard company Lost International, which claims her merchandise logo for her new album, also reading 'Mayhem', is too similar to its own trademark registered since 2015. The company demands $100 million in damages and alleges Gaga's team ignored communications. Lady Gaga's lawyer has defended the singer, describing the lawsuit as opportunistic and baseless, emphasizing her record-breaking album's success. The case raises questions about logo similarities in the creative industry.
Lost International claims that the logo on Lady Gaga's Mayhem merchandise is 'substantially similar if not nearly identical to' its own trademark, which it says it's held since 2015.
Lady Gaga's lawyer, Orin Snyder, said in a statement: 'It's disappointing - but hardly surprising - that someone is now attempting to capitalize on her success with a baseless lawsuit over the name 'Mayhem'.'
