Rachael Gunn said she had moved to trademark her name and pose because other parties were attempting to trademark them.
at Kinselas in Sydney’s Darlinghurst last Saturday evening, before performances scheduled for 2025 at comedy festivals in Sydney, Melbourne and Edinburgh.But she canned it after Gunn’s lawyers sent several letters to the show’s promoter, iD Comedy Club, asking it to cancel the show and not use the name “Raygun” or the Olympian’s now famous “kangaroo dance”, as both were Gunn’s intellectual property.
“It was really unfortunate that the show had to be cancelled so close to the launch. I know the artist would have put a lot of work into and that really sucks. But, had we known about it sooner, there could have been a different outcome.” “I want to take a moment to correct the misinformation. Yes, I have trademarked my name and my now famous kangaroo silhouette pose, which is being used in just about every Raygun merch out there. Which I’m not profiting off of by the way,” she said.A lot of the blow-back Gunn faced after the show was cancelled came from claims that the trademarking was culturally profiting off Indigenous culture, which she also addressed.
