The Obama Trade-mark Surge
It was announced last night that Barack Obama will become the next US President. Entrepreneurial Americans across the nation are taking the opportunity to file trade-mark applications inspired by the President-elect. Here are a few of the more interesting ones filed in the USPTOÂ in the last year:
- BROCCOLI OBAMA – filed for “A vegetable recipe”
- OBAMALLAMA – for plush and stuffed toys and political memorabilia
- WHO’S YO’BAMA NOW? – for athletic apparel, namely, shirts, pants, jackets, footwear, hats and caps, athletic uniforms; Button-front aloha shirts
- THE REAL OBAMA GIRL Â – for audio and video recordings; digital music downloadable from the Internet
- OBAMA BABY – for customized imprinting of company names and logos on promotional merchandise, apparel and corporate gifts
- OBAMANOS! – for imprinting messages on wearing apparel, accessories and mugs
- IRISH FOR O’BAMA – Bumper stickers
- OBAMANATION – for yoga/exercise pants, loungewear and scarves
- O.B.A.M.A. OUR BEST ANSWER FOR MANAGING AMERICA – for T-Shirts, Sweaters, and Hats.
And my personal favourite:
- BEARAK OBAMA – for teddy bears
Now if only Canadian politicians inspired such branding activity.
