Are you a theme park enthusiast and also a Swiftie? You often confuse Taylor Swift’s album andvermore and the fantasy-themed amusement park, Evermore, located in Pleasant Grove, Utah? So man, man, we have a lawsuit in your alley. On Wednesday, February 3, Pitchfork reported that mega pop star who became a temperamental folk artist Taylor Swift is being sued by Utah’s Evermore Park theme park for trademark infringement around her latest hit album, also called ever. Random coincidence? More and more the theme park thinks not. The lawsuit, filed in a United States District Court in Utah on February 2, seeks millions in damages, including all legal fees, claiming that Swift’s record album “led to confused visitors and negatively affected the park’s research capacity on Google ”and allegedly“ infringes on the park’s merchandise designs and on the album covers of their original soundtracks. ”A quick Google search shows that the theme park is number one when you search for” Evermore Utah “, but of course, get out.
Swift’s lawyers are calling BS, referring to the case as “unfounded” in a letter submitted to the court. “Simply put, the Swift parts did not infringe their client’s trademark,” says the letter. “It is inconceivable that there is any likelihood of confusion between your client’s theme park and related products and Ms. Swift’s music and related products.” The letter continues to highlight Evermore Park products, which include “small dragon eggs, guild patches and a small dragon mount”, products that are not similar to those sold on the Swift website. Although it was fun, she sold items like these, but anyone who values themselves knows that Swift likes snake eggs better. Swift and his team are denying the lawsuit’s request to “cease and desist from [the] use of the trademark EVERMORE ”, so don’t worry about the album being taken off streaming platforms anytime soon. While we are sensitive to the situation of a small business owner, we feel that, rather than a process, a collaboration or licensing agreement would benefit both parties. Imagine walking through a picturesque old village while “dorothea” plays on the speaker? Pure ecstasy.
