The decision marked a turning point, as the court also nullified Taylor's trademark registration. Taylor expressed disappointment with the ruling, describing her legal battle against Perry as a "David and Goliath" scenario. She shared her devastation with the Sydney Morning Herald, reflecting on the unfortunate circumstances that led to two ambitious women competing over their names. The judges acknowledged the efforts of both women, stating, "Both women put blood, sweat, and tears into developing their businesses."

The appeal court underscored the irony of the situation, noting how one woman's rising fame brought awareness to the other's existence, leading to the trademark conflict. The judges appropriately referenced one of Perry's chart-topping hits, framing the case as a "tale of two women, two teenage dreams and one name." This ruling comes at a pivotal moment for Katy Perry, who is gearing up for her upcoming Lifetime world tour in early 2025 to coincide with her comeback album, titled "143."
