Rihanna Wins Court Battle Against Top-Shop.
The famous pop musician, Rihanna has won a court battle against fashion retailer Top-Shop over a T-shirt featuring a photo of her on it.
The Britain Court of Appeal upheld a ruling on Thursday, January 23, saying that Top-Shop can not sell the shirt bearing the photo of the singer which was taken while filming a video in Northern Ireland in 2011. But the Top-Shop Lawyer argued that images of other famous musicians such as Elvis Presley and Jim Hendrix have been used and Rihanna was using this to claim that "only a celebrity may ever market his or her own character".
The High Court Judge ruled in Rihanna's favour, saying that " the star's fans may be confused into thinking she endorsed the T-shirt".
