Sugababes Deny Trademark Name Row
By MusicRooms on 04/03/2010
Sugababes Mutya Buena, who was a founder member of the girl group has applied for ownership of the Sugababes' brand.
The current band members say there is no row over who owns the name of their group.
Heidi Range who spoke to the BBC said she wasn't expecting it to come to anything.
"Our record company own the name Sugababes," she said. "So there's no conversations about who owns the name.
"I signed to Universal Records eight-and-a-half years ago with Mutya and Keisha as the Sugababes, so we've still got the name."
Mutya Buena, 24, has asked the European Trademarks Authority to rule on her case but a decision isn't expected for months.
If the decision goes her way, it would mean she would be able to put the name on things like CDs, DVDs and books.
