Lady Gaga Sued by Surfboard Brand for Allegedly Stealing 'Mayhem' Logo
The lawsuit comes just as Gaga announced her tour in support of 'Mayhem.'
Lady Gaga is being sued by a surfboard and clothing brand over the logo for her latest album, Mayhem.
As reported by TMZ, the company Lost International has filed a lawsuit against the musician and actor because they claim she copied the typeface featured on some of its products, which includes surfboards and clothing. They have claimed they used a similar typeface as featured on the cover of the album for over a decade before Mayhem dropped. As seen below, the lawsuit included a side-by-side comparison of the logos as featured on their respective merchandise.
The company has indicated they've owned the 'Mayhem' trademark since 2015 and attempted to reach out to Lady Gaga about her usage, but her team did not respond so they've decided to file a lawsuit. Lost International is seeking to block her using the logo and to receive any profits made off her use of it.
Following the release of Mayhem, which arrived earlier this month, Lady Gaga has announced she will support the record with a tour entitled The Mayhem Ball.
"I wasn’t planning to tour this year after my shows in Singapore but the incredible response to the new album inspired me to keep things going," she wrote alongside the announcement of the tour. "We chose arenas this time to give me the opportunity to control the details of the show in a way you simply can’t in stadiums—and honestly, I can’t wait. This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it. The MAYHEM Ball Tour is officially coming your way. See you soon, monsters."
The tour will kick off with multiple shows in Las Vegas in July and conclude with three shows in Paris, France in November.
