FKA twigs Files Trademark Lawsuit Against US Company Twigs

FKA twigs has filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against a company also named Twigs. The legal action centers on a trademark dispute, with the musician seeking to cancel the company’s existing trademark registration.

The core of the artist’s argument, as reported in legal filings, is that there is no commercial overlap between the two entities. She contends that the parties operate in entirely different commercial ecosystems. The company Twigs, based in Virginia, is reported to be in the business of selling twig-based decorations.

This move follows a previous, unsuccessful attempt by the artist’s team to resolve the matter outside of court. Trademark conflicts of this nature are not uncommon in the music industry, where an artist’s name functions as both a personal and a commercial brand. The case will likely hinge on proving there is no likelihood of consumer confusion between the musical artist and the home goods company.
