Welcome to the April 2025 issue of Sterne Kessler’s MarkIt to Market® newsletter. This month, we explore Lady Gaga’s recent trademark lawsuit involving Lost Surfboards and the disputed use of the MAYHEM name and logo. We also examine how something as simple as a domicile address oversight can jeopardize your trademark rights. We also wanted to remind our readers that we are attending the upcoming 2025 INTA Annual Meeting in San Diego, and hope to meet many of you in person.

Our Trademark & Brand Protection practice here at Sterne Kessler is devoted to guiding companies of all sizes in developing and maintaining strong brands around the world. There is always something new and exciting happening in our unique IP niche, and we bring you updates each month to help you keep on top of it all. Thanks for your readership. If there is something you would like us to cover, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and let us know!

Kind Regards,

Monica Riva Talley
