However, the entertainment news was overshadowed by a significant legal victory for Australian fashion designer Katy Perry, who concluded a 16-year trademark dispute.

The High Court of Australia ruled decisively on October 13, 2025, that the designer’s brand did not infringe upon trademark laws or create a likelihood of consumer confusion, despite actions taken during the initial brand registration process. The ruling, delivered with an overwhelming majority, effectively dismissed the claims made against the fashion brand. The legal battle centered around the use of the name “Perry” within the fashion industry.

Legal sources indicated that the court determined the similarities were not substantial enough to warrant a trademark violation. The Guardian reported on the outcome of the case. This marks the end of a protracted legal process for the Australian fashion designer, solidifying her brand’s identity and protecting her intellectual property rights.

Further details regarding the specific actions that prompted the initial legal challenge remain under wraps.
