Turns out Lost International and Matt “Mayhem” Biolos didn’t have the legal legs to stand on during their multilevel lawsuit against Lady Gaga, Inc. according to a story on The Fashion Law.
A federal judge has dismissed the trademark lawsuit accusing Lady Gaga of infringing surf brand Lost International’s MAYHEM trademark in connection with her Mayhem album, tour, and related merchandise. In a newly-issued order, Judge Fernando M. Olguin of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California granted Lady Gaga and merchandising company Bravado International Group’s motion to dismiss Lost’s second amended complaint with prejudice, finding that Lost failed to sufficiently allege that the defendants’ use of MAYHEM was explicitly misleading under the Rogers v. Grimaldi test.
It was worth a try, right?
