Fanciful marks do not describe the good or service to which they relate and also happen to be the most likely marks to register. In other words, if a mark does not give indication what the goods are then it has a higher chance at registering. The downside, of course, is that the customer knows nothing about the goods so you need to educate the consumer more. Famous example - the APPLE trademark for computers. #TrademarkTuesday

For a highlight of trademark takeaways from the Four Seasons political event, you can read Francesca M. Witzburg, Esq.'s article published in the International Trademark Association (INTA) Bulletin, https://bit.ly/3nuJRSQ Since Nov. there have been some interesting consequences from the event, including the sale of masks and Christmas sweaters with the landscaping company’s logo, an artist’s satirical rendition of the shirts, and a petition to make the landscaping location a historic site.

On this #GivingTuesday (also #TrademarkTuesday), we had to look up whether there were any trademark rights associated with the source, GivingTuesday, an independent nonprofit organization. We did not find any but ultimately, the organization's goal is "to create a more just and generous world, one where generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity, and equity around the globe." The logo treatments change every year and can be use...d freely by other organizations without permission. And, for those very reasons, cannot be trademarked. Trademarks need to be controlled by the source AND used consistently and continuously in commerce. Check them out: https://lnkd.in/ga6SqWx Oh, and give today. #GivingTuesday #TrademarkTuesday

Checking out the USPTO for recent filings using the word VOTE. Not at all surprising that there are MANY filings - I AM THE VOTE, GENERATION VOTE, BABE VOTE, VOTE OR DIE!, VOTE TO LIVE, MY VOTE IS MY PROTEST, VOTE LIKE YOU HAVE NO PRIVILEGE, VOTE 2020...the list goes on. Most of these marks were filed in connection with clothing or other promotional items and unless they are using the mark as a brand rather than "decoratively" on the front of a t-shirt or cup, they are unlike...ly to get those marks registered. But, the message is clear - VOTE. #TrademarkTuesday

It's definitely "no shame to rebrand" with a mark like WRIKE. A great article by Michael Fedrick just in time for #TrademarkTuesday.

We may be watching Schitt's Creek again and cannot believe we forgot to honorably mention the trademark expansion issue that arose in Season 2, Episode 12. A Blouse Barn in Australia wants to pay Wendy for her BLOUSE BARN mark so she does not stand in the way of their U.S. expansion. We think Alexis and David did an admirable job negotiating that for Wendy. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/gF7W2gc "Never accept a first offer."... #TrademarkTuesday
