Oh boy…
From The Blast:
Taylor Swift is not just defending herself in a lawsuit over the name “Swiftlife,” she’s now slapped a small business owner with a federal lawsuit accusing them of fraud.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Swift has filed a counter-suit against a computer store named Swiftlife, which is located in New York. The owner of the company, Patrick Lloyd Yves Bénot, originally sued Swift accusing her of infringing on his trademarks with her app named ‘The Swift Life.’
In her counter-suit, Swift claims Bénot obtained his trademarks by making deceptive statements to the Trademark Office. Swift says the company claimed in their registration docs to be using the name “Swiftlife,” when she claims they were actually using the name “S.L. Swiftlife Computer Services.”
Swift claims the company never used or intended to use the name “Swiftlife” alone, despite them now suing her over it.
The singer is demanding the court cancel the computer store’s trademark due to their alleged fraud. She wants them to pay her legal bills too.
