Swift fights back in Showgirl trademark clash

Taylor Swift’s lawyers urge a California judge to deny Maren Flagg’s motion for a preliminary injunction over “The Life of a Showgirl,” arguing Flagg’s “Confessions of a Showgirl” branding isn’t threatened by Swift’s use, that Flagg has used Swift’s IP in social posts to bolster her brand, and that granting relief would harm Swift’s business; a May 27 hearing is set as the case progresses.
