The pop star – who was born Katheryn Hudson – was sued for trademark infringement by Australian fashion designer Katie Taylor – who runs a clothing brand using her birth name of Katie Perry – and a judge Downunder ruled against the singer by confirming the Roar star had breached Katie’s trademark several times.
