OLIVIA Jade has Trademark Problems

Johnnyeager — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:39:48 GMT

The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office has returned to Olivia Jade several trademark applications, citing, in part, punctuation errors!!!

States the Office: "Proper punctuation in identifications is necessary to delineate explicitly each product or service within a list and to avoid ambiguity...."

"Commas, semicolons, and apostrophes are the only punctuation that should be used".

Not sure exactly what she did wrong, but trademarking "Olivia Jade." with the period might not be acceptable.

M’kay.

Seems like we’re grasping for straws...to hate a stranger.

She should have paid () better attention in school.

Olivia Jade suddenly became a banned, verboten topic?

It is always wise to have attorneys help in these matters. There are usually many details that need to be considered that if you are not extremely knowledgable in the area can be missed.

Well there is a certain irony. This is a person who had two (rather expensive if you ask me, given the age of the owner and the setting) Dyson fans in a dorm room that were provided gratis by Amazon, and who dismissively waved a hand at them in the YouTube video designed to showcase it all, and called them "just Dyson fans".

I think we may have flown too close to the sun (Daedelus and Icarus). The things we learn in school.

There is also, apparently legal opposition to her trademark: a company called "Olivia Garden" has filed documents challenging Olivia Jade's requested trademark on Olivia Jade Brushes, since Olivia Garden markets a similarly named product.

You can do a simple trademark search online in advance of your application. Either she did this herself, or her attorney told her to go ahead anyway.

I doubt if she's going to have to worry about trademarking anything for quite a while anyway.

Ahhh, poor baby. She can’t get her trademarks or her spelling and punctuation. I’ll spend my time caring about children in need, abused children and animals. These rich kids need a few life lessons. Maybe then they can spend some time learning their native language.

Trademark or not, who is going to purchase anything from her?

I never heard of Miss O.J. until last month .... yet a million followers who are "influenced" by a TV star's daughter must have nothing better to do with their time and money.

You know, I never even heard of this person until about 2 weeks ago. Now she's like Kim Kardashian; her every move being reported.

Which is the irony of the whole deal. There is absolutely no reason to follow this girl and there never was and yet in the social media age many did and now, for different reasons, still are... When we, as a society, stop rewarding marginal and bad behavior with 'celebrity' we'll be in a far better place as far as I'm concerned.

Really, I wouldn't say anything about someone else's use of punctuation after reading posts on this very forum.

Re: Olvia Jade has Trademark Problems

But who IS Olvia Jade? Is this the same person as Olivia Jade?

A little bit of schadenfreude goes a long way. We're becoming a culture full of salivating vultures.

I think young people have always had their celebrity idols, crushes, obsessions. In my day you could write a fan letter or join a fan club, but access was virtually nil and carefully controlled, and even the stories about them or quotes were controlled to preserve an image. With instagram, YouTube, etc, interaction is instant and unfiltered, and their immaturity is on display for all to see. Doesn’t excuse their selfishness or dishonesty, but what made them adored is now their nightmare. Oversharing and documenting your thoughtlessness on the internet has consequences, as these young ladies are learning.

Perhaps she should have actually paid attention in school!!!! She is just another entitled little rich girl.
