Popular singer Mariah Carey is trying to put a stop to adult starlet Mary Carey's attempt to trademark her name.
According to Carey, Mariah’s lawyers argued in an opposition letter that since Mary Carey's films might include music, "Confusion between your client and her Mary Carey trademark and our client Mariah Carey trademark is therefore likely.”
Carey told AVN.com,”It seems humorous that a musician as popular as Mariah feels her millions of fans might purchase a Mary Carey adult DVD instead of a copy of ‘The Emancipation of MiMi’ because they are confused by the name. Does he really think her fans are that inattentive?”
In her attempt to block the trademark, Mariah is seeking to prevent Mary Carey from using her name on any "motion picture films featuring adult entertainment; a series of prerecorded video cassettes, DVDs, multimedia software recorded on CD-ROM and interactive multimedia computer programs featuring adult audio and visual dramatic performances."
The adult starlet (whose birth name is Mary) points out that she has been using the name since she started in porn more than four years ago. Mary added that she has already made a name for herself in the adult film industry, and is not worried about her fans confusing her with Mariah.
