Eminem sues Australian beach brand 'Swim Shady'
US rapper Eminem has taken legal action against an Australian beachwear company called Swim Shady, saying its name is too similar to his trademarked rap pseudonym Slim Shady.
In September, Eminem – whose real name is Marshall B Mathers III – filed a petition to the US Patent and Trademark Office, calling for it to cancel a trademark that was granted to the company. US law requires the company to respond to the petition by next week.
The 53-year-old rapper's lawyers accused the Sydney-based brand of creating a "false association" with Eminem.
Swim Shady told the BBC in a statement that it would "defend our valuable intellectual property".
