So what happens to the new line-up? Do they have to change their name?

I'd love it if 4.0 changed their name tbh. People would respect them a lot more.

Mutya can stick the name where the sun don't shine - aka past her implants.

Who would want the name anyway?

Anyway, I'm a little tired of this nonsense tbh.Yes, Mutya was there when the band was created, but she was also there when her co-founding member was kicked out, she was also there when the label made them change their sound and make it more commercial, so why is it such a problem for her and Keisha to accept that the new girls have the same name?Keisha and Mutya both chose to make their sound more commercial and anything commercial is disposable.They set themselves up for it, yet now they remembered to mention the "original Babes" argument.

why would she want it? it does seem petty. a reunion of the original members would be a worthwhile cause. i think that her and keisha`s voices blended so well together. if it is conflict for the sake of conflict. then it is a petty as the `bucks fizz` scenario.

Fingers crossed for a Mutya/Keisha reunion, I think Siobhan is more than an outside chance though.

But Mutya and Keisha should be able to undo the damage that the Heidi/Jade/Amelle have done to brand Sugababes.

she lost the claim and Amelle has denied this as even being true.

Looks like the OP was attention seeking

This news is all over Twitter and also if you read the popjustice forums it is being discussed there too. I think it is quite possibly true, not the OP attention seeking. From what I have seen posted on popjustice, Mutya posted on her official facebook this morning that she has won her claim to the Sugababes name. I guess we have to wait for an official statement to confirm though!

Edit: There's a news story here now about it too: http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/167394/9

This is slightly petty of Mutya, but as a massive Sugababes fan (all 4 variations ) I'd be fine with the current line-up changing their name. It might even win them back a bit of support.

I can't see this being true for a number of reasons. A) Mutya is known to lie and try to grab headlines. B) Amelle, who would know, has flat out denied it, and C) Sony BMG own the Sugababes brand now.

Also for such important news no official webiste eg, DS, The Sun etc, are reporting it.

It's not news though. We haven't had an official confirmation yet. It might have been worth noting that in your title and opening post, rather than stating it as fact.

It's true isnt it? Mutya is now in charge of the trademark and is the queen of Sugababes, so the rest will have to pay her for the hard work she did in establishing the name.

I thought that this had already been announced last year that she lost the appeal, besides sony bmg own the name now, so i think this is false.

WE have no source for any of this and given Mutya was on TV after Keisha was fired from the Sugababes saying that her, Keisha and Siobhan were talking about reforming which Siobhan has completely always denied, its not worth believing a thing she says.

Besides as the link above proves Mutya LOST the case last year.

Siobhan is the only one who doesn't seem to give a crap & is getting on with her life.

I think you may be wrong, Holy Moly has scanned documents of Keisha, Siobhan and Mutya all applying for for name together so they can perform. That maybe the reason why Mutya has won.
