Unlucky 13
Taylor Swift has been sued for trademark infringement for her use of the phrase “Lucky 13” and the number “13.”Blue Sphere, Inc. – doing business as Lucky 13 – alleges that Swift began to damage the Lucky 13 brand in 2012 when Swift began marketing and selling clothing that included the phrase “Lucky 13.” Blue Sphere alleges that Swift’s conduct is “malicious, fraudulent, deliberate, willful, intentional . . . .” Blue Sphere also alleges that Swift has substantial experience with trademarks and other intellectual property and should therefore know better than to use the Lucky 13 brand without permission.
