thetea ARTPOPster 2,470 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Evermore, a fantasy themed amusement park in Pleasant Grove Utah, is suing Taylor Swift for trademark infringement over her most recent album of the same name. According to court documents viewed by Pitchfork, the suit seeks millions in damages, plus all legal fees, and alleges that the release of Swift’s record has led to confused guests and negatively affected the park’s searchability on Google. The Plaintiffs also state that Swift’s release infringes on the park’s merchandise designs and album covers for their original soundtracks. Swift’s team have denied the accusations in a letter filed in court, referring to the suit as “baseless.” “Put simply, the Swift Parties have not infringed your client’s trademark,” the letter states. “It is inconceivable that there is any likelihood of confusion between your client’s theme park and related products and Ms. Swift’s music and related products.” The letter also points out that Evermore Park’s sale of items such as “small dragon eggs, guild patches, and a small dragon mount” are not similar to the products sold on Swift’s website. The artist’s team declined Evermore Park’s demand that they “cease and desist from [the] use of the EVERMORE trademark.” https://pitchfork.com/news/taylor-swift-sued-by-utah-theme-park-evermore-over-trademark/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selon des documents judiciaires consultés par Pitchfork, la poursuite demande des millions de dommages-intérêts, plus tous les frais juridiques, et allègue que la publication du dossier de Swift a conduit à des invités confus et a nui à la possibilité de recherche du parc sur Google. Les demandeurs déclarent également que la sortie de Swift enfreint les conceptions de produits et les pochettes d'album du parc pour leurs bandes sonores originales. L'équipe de Swift a nié les accusations dans une lettre déposée devant le tribunal, qualifiant la poursuite de «sans fondement». «En termes simples, les parties Swift n'ont pas enfreint la marque de commerce de votre client», indique la lettre. «Il est inconcevable qu'il y ait un risque de confusion entre le parc à thème de votre client et les produits connexes et la musique de Mme Swift et les produits connexes.» La lettre souligne également que la vente d'articles tels que les «petits œufs de dragon, les écussons de guilde et une petite monture de dragon» d'Evermore Park ne sont pas similaires aux produits vendus sur le site Web de Swift. L'équipe de l'artiste a décliné la demande d'Evermore Park de «cesser et de s'abstenir de [l'utilisation] de la marque EVERMORE». https://pitchfork.com/news/taylor-swift-sued-by-utah-theme-park-evermore-over-trademark/ Still people who want to be talked about (and a little money). That despairs me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
