Gaga should trademark "Born this Way" too, if she hasn't yet...just sayin'

She could've really capitalised on that trade mark since nearly everyone in the whole world says it now with t-shirts and merch

or at least "Mary Jane Holand," "I live for the Appluse," "ARTPOP," "Suddenly the Koons is me," "Fame Monster"

[Gianni Versace 2,987]

She is the definition of #BlingNotTheMusic

Gaga should trademark "This beat is sick". 

 

I really tried to like Taylor Swift but everything she does just annoys me. This doesn't help. Like wtf trademarking lyrics when they're not even popular?

Lyrics should be owned if you wrote them though? If you're making a profit off of someone elses work, that shouldn't be allowed. Thats why I think this is okay. When you go to a fair or boardwalk and they have fake plastered shirts everywhere that say "BORN THIS WAY", "SHAKE IT OFF", "WAKE UP FLAWLESS", exc. you're using a celebrity to make a profit which shouldn't be allowed. 

 

I get where you're coming from, but it is just to impractical.

 

I mean, couldn't I really sell a shirt/hat/poster saying "Shake it Off"? What about "Bang Bang" or any other phrase, lol. Just imagine the limitations if this were to be followed. I would proclaim a songwriter myself and trademark everything I can. 

 

Hell, not even "Born This Way" or "ARTPOP" are truly Gaga's.

 

At the end of the day, I don't think it's much of an issue to make a profit of it, and it's a bit dumb for Taylor to trademark these phrases.

"party like its 1989" is basically a play off of Prince's "1999" Lyrics "tonight were gonna party like its 1999..." so basically she's trademarking something she got from somewhere else which is kinda messed up

Yeah I understand what you're saying.

Praying for Gaga to trademark "I'm a free b---h!"

[migamiga 12,067]

Too bad she can't trademark her men *eyeroll*

[Gianni Versace 2,987]

Wondering why Gaga still hasn't trademarked "I'm a free b---h!"

Because that would go against Gaga's whole message. 

 

God this makes me love Gaga so much more.

 

Gaga doesn't care about money or sales or commercial success nearly as much as cultural impact. She wants people to spread these words and LIVE it. 

Too bad she can't trademark her men *eyeroll*

OMFG :AIR:

She's ridiculously full of herself. In other words, the sky is blue

That's fine, I mean I guess we can just wait for Taylor to beat her to the punch. :air:

She comes from a rich, business family. It runs in her (bad ) blood.
