Dojo 19,372 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Mariah Carey's applicationĀ to trademark the moniker "Queen of Christmas" has been denied by theĀ US Patent and Trademark Office. The American star's application was denied after her company did not respond to another singer's opposition. The trademark would have given her the legal right to stop others from using the title on musicĀ and merchandise. Carey also failed in attempts to trademark the abbreviation "QOC " and "Princess Christmas". Carey's company Lotion LLC applied for the yuletide trademark last year, leading to another singer, Elizabeth Chan, putting in a legal challenge in August, in an attempt to block her from obtaining the registration. Another singer, Darlene Love, previously took to Facebook to say she had been "Queen of Christmas" since before Carey rose to fame. Love is known for her Christmas classic Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) and covers of hits such as Winter Wonderland and White Christmas. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63647164 Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstertoronto 10,383 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Read this article. I think this was the right decision. Ā This woman already recorded an album called āQueen of Christmasā andĀ devoted herself to only Christmas music. Ā She fought this not just for herself but because she thinks lots of people should be able to use the term, over the years, and not have it be owned by one person so they can sue anyone who tries to use the term and just be the only one who can make money with it.Ā Article here: https://ew.com/music/mariah-carey-loses-queen-of-christmas-trademark-elizabeth-chan/ Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickypie101 1,580 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Happy about this, Mariah rakes in enough money every year already doesnāt she? She really needs to trademark this for her own ego and exclude anyone from this title forever? Idk who Chan is but I love that she fought this case not for herself but for future āQueens of Christmasā , I mean cmon itās clear whatās wrong and whatās right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
