Victoria Beckham has settled a trademark case after taking an Australian skincare company to court.
The former Spice Girls star, 46, launched legal proceedings after Sydney-based firm VB Skinlab sought to register the trademarks VB Salon and VB Skinlab in Australia.
Posh's lawyers argued that her reputation in Australia meant their use "would be likely to deceive or cause confusion" with her own fashion and beauty products.
Until this week she was appealing a decision taken by IP Australia in March that ruled she had not established any grounds of opposition and the two VB marks should proceed to registration.
But a listing for the appeal in the Federal Circuit Court on Wednesday was vacated as the parties worked towards an agreement, ABC News reports.
On Friday Judge Julia Baird dismissed the appeal by consent, noting parties had agreed to terms of settlement.
Her orders directed the registrar of trademarks to "take all necessary steps" for the two trademark applications to proceed to registration.
There were no orders made regarding costs.
IP Australia, the branch of the Australian government that deals with trademark issues, in March described Victoria as "an individual from the United Kingdom who is a well-known figure in the fields of music … and fashion".
Her lawyers said she had been using VB on her products two years before VB Skinlab filed the trademark claim.
They also also took issue with the company's use of "a slim brunette with long hair" on its website, which they said was similar to her own image.
But IP Australia delegate Nicholas Smith described her reputation for cosmetics in Australia as "limited".
