Mariah Carey's attempt to trademark the title 'Queen of Christmas' has sparked a legal battle.
The superstar singer, 53, filed an application to trademark the phrase in March 2021, a move which has left prominent festive singers Darlene Love, 81, and Elizabeth Chan, 42, furious, with the latter heading to court in an attempt to prevent Mariah from claiming the title.
The application in which she requested to secure exclusive usage of 'Queen Of Christmas' along with 'QOC', 'Princess of Christmas' and 'Christmas Princess,' was made public on 12 July.

According to Variety, on Friday Elizabeth Chan's attorney filed a formal declaration of opposition to Mariah's trademark application.
She told the publication: 'I feel very strongly that no one person should hold onto anything around Christmas or monopolize it in the way that Mariah seeks to in perpetuity.
'That's just not the right thing to do. Christmas is for everyone. It's meant to be shared; it's not meant to be owned.
'And it's not just about the music business. She's trying to trademark this in every imaginable way — clothing, liquor products, masks, dog collars — it's all over the map.'
