American pop icon Lady Gaga is facing a lawsuit from surfboard company Lost International, which claims she used their trademarked Mayhem logo on her new album without permission.
According to legal filings, the surf brand accuses Gaga of using a design that looks “strikingly similar” to its long-established Mayhem branding.

Lost International Has Used the Logo for Over a Decade

Lost International says it has sold merchandise featuring the Mayhem logo for more than ten years.
The company insists the design is widely recognized in the surf community and represents a key part of its brand identity.
In the lawsuit, Lost alleges that Gaga’s album art closely mirrors their logo, confusing fans and violating trademark laws.

Company Says Gaga Ignored Warnings

According to court documents, Lost International contacted Lady Gaga—whose real name is Stefani Germanotta—before her album’s release to raise concerns.
However, the company claims that Gaga did not respond and instead continued to use the disputed design.
As a result, Lost filed the lawsuit to protect its brand and seek damages for alleged infringement.

Legal Experts Weigh In

Trademark infringement cases in the music industry often hinge on whether the accused party intentionally copied the design and whether it caused consumer confusion.
If the court finds that Gaga’s logo closely resembles Lost’s trademark and was used without permission, she may be forced to remove the design and pay financial penalties.

What’s Next for Lady Gaga?

Neither Lady Gaga nor her representatives have commented publicly on the lawsuit as of now.
Legal analysts suggest that the case could either lead to a settlement behind closed doors or head to trial if no agreement is reached.

Fans and critics alike are now watching closely to see how the controversy unfolds, especially given Gaga’s high-profile image and global reach.
