SYDNEY, April 28 (Reuters) - An Australian court has ruled that pop superstar Katy Perry infringed the trademark of a Sydney-based fashion designer who has sold her products locally under a label with her birth name "Katie Perry". The judge dismissed a bid by the popstar seeking to cancel the Katie Perry trademark. Taylor, whose birth name was Katie Perry, called the verdict a "David and Goliath" win for small businesses. Representatives of Katy Perry could not be immediately reached. The tussle between the popstar and the Australian fashion designer over the homophonous name began in 2008 when Taylor registered the "Katie Perry" brand in Australia.
