April 25, 20178 yr Why do Crown even need the name? It's not like they're doign anything with it.. Spite.
April 25, 20178 yr In a way, I'm happy Siobhan is pregnant if Crown are going to drag out this mess longer. At least she can get that out of the way if they ever do plan to come back.
April 25, 20178 yr Author They will be back, you can see Keisha doing the necessary leg work on her snapchat to keep them ticking over. This will ensure Siobhan has given birth before a comeback though which is a bonus. Although lets be honest even if Keisha had won this month they wouldn't be back before Siobhan popped. Probably looking at Q4 or Q1 2018 to allow Shiv to give birth and for the legal shite to be sorted.
April 25, 20178 yr Yet again: http://i41.tinypic.com/2s78by8.jpg Keish-Keish has got this betches. I still crack up at the last shot in this series so I have to post it again and again.
April 26, 20178 yr Author I just love the mental image it gives of Keisha tearing the director a new one then immediately screaming "places, take 15, don't f*** it up this time john camera 1 on me and swooping from the right. From the top" *about you now plays*Â She was in meetings yesterday no doubt getting an update on the schnanigans
May 28, 20178 yr Author June 8th just around the corner! No evidence submitted yet and the EU won't grant another. If its not submitted on time then Keisha wins automatically. Keisha and Mutya have had a couple of meetings recently things look like they are ticking over nicely and Shiv looks v.v.prego.  If they win we'll start to hear news a little after that I think by way of a statement to the fans. Likely a "We've got our name back! Ta for keeping with us. Sooooooon. We love you. Soon. Shiv is up the duff. Soon. Music will be released when Shiv pops. Soon"
May 28, 20178 yr I'm assuming Siobhan's at least six months along? To be fair, she couldn't have picked a better time to get preggers as in if they win they'll still be several months away from releasing. I'm assuming that in the best case scenario we'll see a something in early 2018. Â I once joked about how I hoped they would release something before I turned 30... well, I was 27 then and I'm 33 now. Whoops!
May 28, 20178 yr Author She looks like she's 6-7 months in yeah. I think we might see them in the studio and stuff again this year. I doubt we will get a Q4 release though, too competitive. Q1 I agree is much more likely.  Hopefully they get it done before my 30th! (I'm also saying this as a 27 year old)
June 8, 20178 yr Author Documents submitted on time, but marked as confidential on Trademark site. So we'll just have to wait.
July 9, 20178 yr Author Crown have submitted around 450 pages of evidence. This has now been provided to Keisha's legal team. They have until mid September to respond. Luckily by the time this is all sorted and wrapped up Q1 2018 will be here, Siobhan will be coming towards the end of her maternity and things can FINALLY get f***ing moving again.
July 10, 20178 yr 450 pages of evidence isn't a good sign for Crown - normally if you were confident you'd keep things short, even in legal matters. It would be interesting to see what those pages contains.
July 10, 20178 yr Author Purely speculation but I would imagine that it contains full copies of their contracts with Spotify and Apple et al for using the name and the back catalogue. Those'll be lengthy. There's probably the record deal with Island and the three album distribution deal with Sony that never actually released anything they'll no doubt claim is active. Â A legal strategy is to bury people in paperwork and hope they can't afford to continue because of the cost of wading, try and run the clock out or get them to see the submission and give up. They've clearly forgotten what it's like to work with Keisha. Â Think you're very much correct about the submission length. The fact they had to get an extension isn't a good sign for them either
August 2, 20177 yr Author Oh yeah. Latest update. This is currently suspended due to a legal case involving Crown and Keisha in the UK Courts. I can't find Crown vs Buchanan anywhere and the Civil Courts aren't the most transparent about what is on their docket :angry: so who knows. I am assuming that Keisha is suing them or something in the UK Court for ownership of the name.
August 6, 20177 yr I was a big fan of all six Sugababes, however why are MKS persisting with this legal action? Whichever members release a song as the "Sugababes" will do f*** all commercially anyway, so if they're making music for the fans/their own enjoyment, why don't they just get on with it under the MKS name instead? It's four years since 'Flatline' fell flat in a chart that was far easier to get a hit out of and I certainly don't see a Sugababes 5.0/1.0 doing any better. And 'Flatine' was a seriously GOOD song. Hope I'm wrong!
August 20, 20177 yr Author More twists and turns than a Stephen King novel.... all the paperwork apart from the initial notification of cancelation have been removed from the European Trademark site
