Attorneys for the singer, who released her ARTPOP album cover Monday, wrote:
“It has come to our client’s attention that you have filed an application to register the mark GAGAJEANS and are using the GAGAJEANS mark in connection with the jeans."
"In particular, you have misappropriated the dominant feature of our client’s mark, GAGA, and merely added the generic term 'jeans.'
"Your use and registration of the GAGAJEANS mark is likely to cause confusion, mistake, and deception of consumers that Lady Gaga is affiliated with [the product]."
According to Gaga’s attorneys, Smith also commented on Lady Gaga videos attempting to direct fans to his website, gagajeans.co (which has since been taken down).
As such, they demand that Scott abandon his trademark request, deactivate his website, cease and desist making the jeans, destroy any prototypes and more.
“If we do not hear from you by October 10,” the attorneys write, “we will assume that you have no desire to resolve this amicably and we will proceed accordingly without any further notice to you.”
