For a trademark practitioner, "fanciful" is a legal term of art. Fanciful marks comprise terms that have been invented for the sole purpose of functioning as a trademark. Applications for words that otherwise do not exist outside the proposed trademark tend to move through the examination process and into registration the fastest. Coming up with a very unique business name will save time and money in the federal trademark process. I love this one! I can see this brand catching on quickly.

Showing your "Est."? We have all noticed the comeback of the establishment date in logos, especially in the context of coffee shops, breweries and in any business with that warm vibe of "hipster chic". " . . . "Est." has made quite a comeback, appearing in trademarks at a rate 17 times higher in 2020 than in 1980." Businesses established amidst the mess of 2020 should be especially proud to "Show their 'Est.'"

My heart continues to ache over the loss of this legendary woman. Getting to listen to her live this spring in U.S. Patent & Trademark Office v. Booking.com was a day I'll never forget. RBG was the greatest supporter of equality and creation! Let's hope that her appreciation for the legal rights of creators remains in the Supreme Court today as the Justices hear oral arguments for Google v. Oracle.

Both Obama and Trump administrations have filed amicus briefs against Google's unlicensed use of Java. Tomorrow will be very important to intellectual property law. Dear Supreme Court, let's get some good quality sleep tonight.

Supreme Court could take intellectual property protections back 50 years | Opinion
Many clients come to me with the belief that everyday words cannot be granted with trademark protection. Classic legal answer, "it depends". Think of words like "air" and "black" - these are 2 examples of words that also function as trademarks in apparel. This Mark Jacobs case is interesting. It's not the mere fact that the word "the" is too basic of a word to trademark, rather a combination of failure to function, merely ornamental and unmatched specimens causing the problems. If I represented Marc Jacobs, I would recommend using several functional representations of "the". I'm seeing an intersection filled runway formed out of "the", "the" shaped hangtags on the sweater, and a perfume named "the" with a black and white commercial that is silent, except for when Lila Moss whispers "the" at the end. This combination could have set them up for a better chance of registration.

If you know the owner and attorney at Creative Law Studio, you know that Pearl Jam music is of great importance. If we've drafted your trademark, there's a good chance it was drafted with a light background ambience of Eddie Vedder.
This is an interesting article and a reminder to everyone to keep an eye out for brand copycats. The mailing of cease and desist letters when you do spot a brand wanna-be is one of the best ways to protect the integrity of your trademark. Don't send mixed messages - send cease and desist letters.
