Eminem’s Slim Shady trademark battle just took a major turn in Australia, where a court ruled in favor of beachwear brand Swim Shady — but only for certain product categories like clothing and bags, since Eminem’s trademarks weren’t actively used there for those items. The ruling doesn’t affect his music or electronics rights, and Swim Shady’s victory comes despite Eminem’s earlier claim that the name could confuse fans. The brand’s trademark was registered in Australia before Eminem’s “Shady” mark, adding complexity to the case. Eminem’s team has until July 22nd to appeal, and this is just one front in a global dispute, with ongoing battles in the U.S., U.K., and Japan. It’s not the first time Eminem’s tangled in legal drama — he’s clashed with Meta, a car dealer, and even a political party — but he’s also gearing up for a long-awaited reunion track with Jay-Z, their first in 25 years.
