\nTaylor Swift\u2019s attorneys are pushing back against a lawsuit from former Las Vegas showgirl Maren Flagg, who claims Swift\u2019s \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl\u201d title infringes on her \u201cConfessions of a Showgirl\u201d trademark.<\/p>\n

Maren Flagg (performs as Maren Wade) filed a lawsuit in California in late March. In 2015, she trademarked \u201cConfessions of a Showgirl\u201d and uses it for a newspaper column, podcast and cabaret performances. Her lawsuit alleges that her title and Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl<\/i> \u201cshare the same structure, the same dominant phrase, and the same overall commercial impression. Both are used in overlapping markets and are directed at the same consumers.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThis motion, just like Maren Flagg\u2019s lawsuit, should never have been filed. It is simply Ms. Flagg\u2019s latest attempt to use Taylor Swift\u2019s name and intellectual property to prop up her brand and it fails every single step of the preliminary injunction inquiry. Plaintiff attempts to broadly lump her cabaret show and defendants\u2019 musical album together as \u2018entertainment services.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u201c[Flagg[ performs, if at all, in small intimate venues, such as a: \u201955+ active community,\u2019 \u201955+ golf resort\u2019; \u2018RV & Golf Resort\u2019; \u201990 seat cabaret-style venue\u2019 that offers dinner; hotel; and private supper club,\u201d her lawyer continued. \u201cHer website lists no upcoming performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flagg\u2019s attorney, Jaymie Parkkinen, said he and his client still plan to move forward with the lawsuit. \u201cWe read it. Defendants assert First Amendment protection for napkins and hairbrushes,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cWe look forward to filing our response next week.\u201d<\/p>\n
