FKA Twigs Faces Countersuit From The Twigs Over Alleged Trademark ‘Destruction’
The Twigs have countersued FKA Twigs, accusing her of using fame to undermine their trademark as the dispute stretches on.
An already long-running trademark dispute between FKA Twigs and the Los Angeles indie duo The Twigs has escalated again, this time with Laura Good and Linda Good accusing the artist of using her fame and money to undermine their name.
Earlier this year, Tahliah Barnett, who performs as FKA Twigs, filed her own lawsuit asking a judge to declare that her stage name does not infringe on the band’s trademark. The conflict itself goes back more than a decade. In 2014, The Twigs sued Barnett over alleged trademark infringement tied to a name they say they had been using since 1996. That case did not go far: the band lost an initial injunction bid and eventually dropped it.
The dispute resurfaced in 2024 after The Twigs sent Barnett a cease-and-desist letter demanding she stop using the name following her own trademark application. Barnett responded with a lawsuit of her own, accusing the duo of trying to “weaponise” what she described as baseless claims in pursuit of money.
