Australian designer Katie Perry has won a trademark case against US pop star Katy Perry after a 16-year-long legal battle.

The High Court of Australia on Wednesday, March 11, found that the former had not hurt the singer’s reputation or misled consumers with her eponymous clothing brand, which she started in 2007.

Netizens have shared their reactions following the verdict, with the majority criticizing the Hot N Cold singer’s decision to go against Katie for running a business under her birth name, while pointing out that “Katy Perry” is only her stage name.

“Her real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson. Someone who is a pretend Katy Perry tried to sue a real Katie Perry. Make that make sense,” one asked. Katie Perry, who now goes by her married name Katie Taylor, has been selling clothes at local markets, on her website, and through several social media accounts under the Katie Perry brand since 2008.
