The ongoing dispute between an act who has been called Mika for twenty-five years and the pop act Mika has had a day in court: The original Mika has failed to get "Grace Kelly" Mika banned from going to Belguim.Victoria Newton sees this as some sort of moral victory:Reggae Mika remains adamant that the other Mika should change his name.She said: “I am not suing him for any money, but for the principle and my name.“I had it registered in 1983. He is ruining my career.”I think she’s taking the Mik.While our Mika — real name Mica Penniman — is a worldwide star, she’s not even a household name in her own country. Interesting approach to intellectual property from Newton, there: apparently it doesn't matter if you've registered a trademark, what's important is how effective the person infringing your copyright has been. Presumably she'd have been on the side of Goliath, too, on grounds that he was so much taller.
MIKA may unfortunately not have been successful in his nominations at the MTV EMA last Thursday but he did put in a stellar performance of 'Grace Kelly' which you can see again:We would like to thank all of you firstly for getting MIKA to the shortlisted nominations with your votes and then voting for him to win. It was a magnificent effort by all of you. Thanks very much!Don't forget there's still the UK Festival Awards this Tuesday!*§ource: Mika's myspace*

There's trouble brewing for Mika, as a Belgian reggae artist also called Mika has emerged, understandably miffed that her name has been pinched.Victoria Newton, showing a surprisingly poor grip on trademark law, misses the point somewhat:Reggae Mika has hardly set the charts alight.She released debut single MLK in 1989 but it attracted little attention. If you want to buy it you can get it from her website for £2.Her subsequent releases haven’t done much better.In contrast our Mika burst on to the pop scene in January with No1 single Grace Kelly.Just eight months later his debut album, Life In Cartoon Motion, has sold more than three million copies worldwide, including more than 900,000 in the UK, making it triple platinum.It will come as something of a surprise at the Patent Office to discover that the rights to a trademark is now dependent on the price of singles sold by the trademark owners.Having said that - is £2 for a twenty year old single really such a duff price? After al
