Indie Band Sues FKA Twigs for Trademark Infringement
13 May
Summary
- An indie band claims FKA Twigs infringes on their stage name.
- The band seeks an injunction to prohibit FKA Twigs from using the name.
- The band is demanding significant financial damages for infringement.
An indie band, The Twigs, has filed a countersuit against the Grammy-winning artist FKA Twigs for trademark infringement. The sisters, Laura and Linda Good, claim the artist's use of the stage name infringes upon their established rights.
According to the band's complaint, filed on Monday, May 11, FKA Twigs allegedly began to drop the "FKA" prefix after releasing her album 'Magdalene' in 2019. They assert she intentionally leveraged her celebrity to increase public association with "Twigs," thereby eroding the band's goodwill.
The Twigs are seeking a court injunction to prevent FKA Twigs from using the stage name. Additionally, they are pursuing unspecified financial compensation for alleged trademark infringement and unfair competition.
