This is one of the busier weeks: 967 new registrations in class 025! (I don’t think I’ve seen over 1000 since I started this project; this may be my largest number so far.) But that said, the curated list isn’t that huge! The bulk of the marks this week are actual brands, actual brand slogans, and the usual huge assortment of letter-salad marks. We have a mere 199 cancelled marks this week to offset the newbies, at least one of which has me SALTY. 🧂
PART 1: NEW REGISTRATIONS
ALWAYS LOCAL
BE THE MOVEMENT
COLORFULLY YOU
CYBERBEAST – As a Very Online person, I feel like “cyber” is so dated. Like, something that people would use 20 years ago. Or the Really Olds would use these days.
DOPE SMOKE
DREAMS OVER MONEY
HATELOVEHATE – Stylized as: hAteLOveHAte, so that ALOHA appears in the uppercase letters. I can’t help but picture that Spongebob mocking chicken meme.
IF YOU DON’T KNOW, YOU DON’T GO
IT’S ALL LOVE – Covers clothing and … disc jockey services.
LOOKS CUTE – might delete later.
LUCK KEY – As if LUCKY isn’t already protected in a thousand classes.
MADE TO MOVE – I’m guessing they mean “move” as in “exercise,” not “pack up and live in a different home.”
NATURE’S HERITAGE
NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES
PROFESSIONAL RAWDOGGER – This may be the current winner for “if a guy is wearing this shirt, RUN.” 🤮
SIP SAVOR SAVE
STAY HATED – Another member of the STAY X club!
YOU LIKE THIS T-SHIRT, HUH – I desperately want a question mark at the end of this phrase!
And in image marks this week: Pink Floyd’s classic Dark Side of the Moon prism + rainbow image, registered in a dozen classes for a huge number of goods. How they didn’t have this registered before is beyond me. I was raised listing to Pink Floyd (literally, this album was released just before my first birthday), and DSotM remains one of my all-time favorites. 🔺🌈
PART 2: CANCELLED MARKS
(Standard disclaimer: Always double-check these words and phrases before using them in your designs, to make sure there isn’t a separate registration that is still live and active. Some marks have multiple registrations!)
BALLETCENTRIC
BE THE WHEEL
BEER SNOB – Hey, that’s me! I only drink Miller Lite, never Bud or Michelob. 😆🍺
CRAZY BITCH – Included for the record, but … please don’t use this in a shirt design. The world doesn’t need garbage like this. It’s misogynistic and ableist at the same time! 🤮
CUSTOM KETCHUP – The world does, however, need custom ketchup. I love to stir in a little yellow mustard for some zing!
FAT GIRLS FISHING – This one has body-positivity potential. But the cancelled mark didn’t; it had all men in its specimens.
FORBIDDEN FLOWER – See, wouldn’t you rather be a forbidden flower than a crazy bitch? [edit: it has been brought to my attention that this is a gross way to refer to lady-parts. UGH!]
GENUINE GINGERS
HATCH
HOT CANDY – This sounds gross and melty and sticky. “Hey, I have a pocket full of …” (sigh) “… hot candy.” 🔥🍬
I’M GOING TO BE
KEEP IT JUICY
LITTLE MISS EVERYTHING – A phrase you’d only use for children, not for grown women, right? RIGHT???
LOVE WHAT YOU DO
REAL MEN MAKE TWINS – Real men do a lot of things. Cry, express their emotions, talk about their feelings, empathize with the people around them. 💪
THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ALMOST EVERY OCCASION – Finally, wouldn’t you rather be this than a crazy bitch OR a forbidden flower?
Note: This is a curated list, and may not include all marks that affect you or your business.
As always, the new marks have been added to my ginormous spreadsheet; please check it out for a shockingly large list of registered trademarks!
