A surfboard company sued Lady Gaga for allegedly nicking its logo on her new album "Mayhem."
Lost International, which sells "Mayhem" merchandise, says the logo design Gaga used for her album is almost identical to its own.
The airline claims to have held copyright protections for the design of its stylized branding since 2015 and says it has established its reputation on the design.
Lost International reached out to Gaga, who was born Stefani Germanotta, with concerns regarding the likeness, the suit states.
But the company claims she went ahead with the logo anyway, sparking the trademark infringement lawsuit, according to TMZ.
In a side-by-side comparison of its goods and Gaga's album art, Lost International's legal filing highlights what the company claims is an unacceptable resemblance.
The lawsuit is asking for damages, which could include all of the profit Gaga made using the logo in question. Lost International is also seeking an injunction against the singer from using the design again.
Gaga's representatives have not publicly commented on the suit yet.

"Mayhem," released March 7, will be Gaga's first pop album of its length since 2020's "Chromatica." On the Billboard 200, the album was No. 1 in a total of 21 countries.

A Fresh Take on 'Abracadabra'
Lady Gaga appeared on "The Howard Stern Show" to perform Abracadabra out of the exchange. Her March 11 outing came just days following her energetic hosting and musical guest gig on Saturday Night Live.
