Much like what the one named A+ list singer is doing, this former A+ list rapper is going to try and take away what someone else already owns because he thinks as a celebrity, he is more important than the other person.

Beyoncé deems Blue Ivy a ‘cultural icon’ in trademark battle

Beyoncé refuses to back down from trademarking her eldest daughter’s name, Blue Ivy Carter.

In new court documents obtained by The Blast, Bey, 38, is fighting back against wedding planner Veronica Morales, who believes the superstar shouldn’t be allowed to trademark “Blue Ivy” because it is also the name of her event planning business.

“[Morales’ claim] that consumers are likely to be confused between a boutique wedding event planning business and Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of two of the most famous performers in the world, is frivolous and should be refused in its entirety,” Beyoncé responded via court docs.

She also emphasized that she is looking to trademark “Blue Ivy Carter,” not “Blue Ivy,” adding, “the presence of the word ‘CARTER’ ties the commercial impression of BGK’s Mark to the celebrity Blue Ivy Carter rather than Opposer’s regional event planning business.”

The Emmy nominee went on to call her 7-year-old daughter a “cultural icon” while taking a few shots at Morales’ company, calling it a “small business, with just three regional offices and a handful of employees.” She also mentioned its “weak online presence and poorly subscribed social media accounts.” – Source

Kanye West Can’t Own ‘Sunday Service’ … Trademark Gods Say So

Kanye West’s crusade to corner the market for his Sunday Service gear just got shot down by the trademark gods … of the U.S., anyway.

Ye applied for exclusive ownership of the mark, “Sunday Service,” to slap it on clothing, dresses, footwear, headwear, jackets, loungewear, scarves, shirts, socks and tops. But, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office shut him down because, basically … someone’s already working that corner!!!

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, someone else already registered the name — and therefore Kanye using it would likely cause confusion in the marketplace.

We broke the story … Kanye applied for the trademark in July. He’d started selling gear even before that, on Easter Sunday, to coincide with his performance at Coachella. He was hawking hoodies for $165 and $225 a pop and socks for $50. – Source
