The Federal Court returned to the dispute between Sydney fashion designer Katie Taylor and pop star Katy Perry to consider what compensation and costs Taylor should receive. The case follows a High Court ruling in March that Perry and her companies infringed Taylor’s trademark and that Taylor could keep it, reviving questions left unresolved after an earlier decision was overturned.

Perry’s lawyers dispute the award of additional damages and challenge an injunction barring her company, Kitty Purry, from further infringement. The court ordered written submissions before deciding whether oral argument is needed; a hearing is listed for 26 November but may be cancelled. The dispute dates to 2009, when Perry first contacted Taylor about the “Katie Perry” trademark, and Taylor sued in 2019 after the singer continued selling branded clothing in Australia.
