Sugababes release statement regarding Mutya
Quote:
Press release - Thurs. 25 Aug.
Heidi, Amelle and Jade would like to reassure their fans that it's business as usual for Sugababes.
Further to ongoing media speculation and mis-reporting of the facts by various sources, we would like to clarify the following;
Over 4 months ago (21st April 2011) it was officially confirmed by the European Trade Marks Department that Sugababes were successful in claiming their ongoing right to use the name "Sugababes" for all areas of commercial activity that the band requires, namely within the music, sound recording and entertainment industry, as well as being granted extensive rights to produce a wide range of merchandise.
The trade mark rights for Class 16 (excluding those items which are already covered by Sugababes merchandise, e.g. posters, stickers, etc.) include certain paper and cardboard goods, such as stationery, paper gift wrap and paper gift wrapping ribbons. This is a category that currently holds no commercial interest for the band and, accordingly, the band has no immediate plans to challenge Ms. Buena for these rights.
