Lady Gaga is currently facing legal action from a surfboard manufacturing entity concerning her Mayhem insignia.
The surfboard corporation Lost International has initiated a lawsuit against the renowned pop artist, alleging that she has replicated their logo for her most recent album.
As delineated in the lawsuit acquired by TMZ, the entity is pursuing legal remedies against Gaga for purported trademark infringement, asserting that they possess the proprietary rights to the term Mayhem as they market merchandise and surfboards adorned with said term.
Lost International asserts that it has been employing a stylized representation of the term on its products since the year 2015.
The corporation has alleged that Gaga, whose legal name is Stefani Germanotta, has utilized the logo in a comparable style on her album and associated merchandise without obtaining the requisite authorization.
Furthermore, the lawsuit features a side-by-side visual comparison of one of its hoodies displaying the logo on the reverse side and a hoodie from Lady Gaga’s merchandise line presenting her interpretation of the logo on the back, thereby underscoring the resemblances.
The surfboard company additionally contends that it reached out to the artist known for “Die With A Smile” and requested her to cease the use of the logo, yet she failed to comply.
The legal action seeks to prohibit Lady Gaga from employing the logo and requests reparations, encompassing any profits accrued from her usage of the term Mayhem.
Gaga has yet to issue a response to the aforementioned lawsuit.
The artist recognized for “Poker Face” unveiled the album on March 7, representing her inaugural full-length studio endeavor since the release of 2020’s Chromatica.
This lawsuit emerges concurrently with Lady Gaga’s announcement on Wednesday regarding her forthcoming arena tour, her first since 2018, scheduled for this summer. The extensive 32-date tour, titled The Mayhem Ball, is set to commence in Las Vegas on July 16.
