Taylor Swift has submitted a request to the US government asking them to intervene and block the trademark application for “Swift Home,” which was submitted by a theme park in Utah called Evermore. The dispute arose when Evermore allegedly used Taylor Swift’s music without authorization in their park. In response to this, Evermore filed a lawsuit against Taylor Swift for the unauthorized use of their trademarked name in her album “Evermore.”
Taylor Swift’s legal team argues that the trademarking of “Swift Home” by Evermore could lead to confusion among consumers and damage Taylor Swift’s brand. They claim that Evermore’s actions are an attempt to retaliate for the lawsuit brought against them by Taylor Swift.
On the other hand, Evermore maintains that their trademark application for “Swift Home” is unrelated to the dispute over the use of Taylor Swift’s music in their park. They assert that the application is specifically for the theme park and does not infringe on Taylor Swift’s brand or trademarks.
The US Patent and Trademark Office is currently reviewing Taylor Swift’s request to block the “Swift Home” trademark. The outcome of this dispute will have implications not only for the involved parties but also for the broader issues of intellectual property rights and trademark protection in the entertainment industry.
