Taylor Swift's legal team is hitting back at a trademark suit from Vegas performer Maren Wade over album merch. The singer calls the claims meritless and warns of massive losses if blocked.
Taylor Swift's lawyers filed opposition papers slamming the suit as an attempt to grab attention from her fans. They note Wade used Swift's music and art to promote her own cabaret show before raising any issues. The filing labels the case meritless and vows to pursue remedies for any misuse of Swift's work. First Amendment protections for merch like napkins and hairbrushes are also highlighted. Maren Wade's attorney Jaymie Parkkinen fired back that the defense is weak and plans a response next week. A hearing is scheduled for May 27. So is this just pre-show drama or a real clash over branding rights?
