Well it seems as though those reports weren’t true; actually Mutya Buena is suing the group over their name (oh, that’s a turn up for the books isn’t it?), and if successful the singer will own the rights to use the Sugababes name on goods like CDs, DVDs and books throughout Europe.
Mutya, who quit the girl-group in 2005, has applied to the European Trademarks Authority for permission for use of the name. Her request has been registered, but so far not approved.
All three founding members of the group (including Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy) have been named on the trademark application however the legal firm behind the move confirmed earlier today that Mutya is the "sole applicant".
Do you think Mutya’s right to be taking action against the brand new Sugababes (you know, the group without any of the original founding members in it at all) or should she just leave them alone to get on with it?
