A Long Island couple wants to trademark the slogan "Occupy Wall St." with the intent to sell sweatshirts, T-shirts, bumper stickers and hobo bags, among other merchandise.
"I'm no marketing genius, but when you got something that's across 50 states, it's a brand now," said 44-year-old Robert Maresca of West Islip, New York.
Maresca's wife, Diane, filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on October 18 and paid a fee of $975.
does that mean if i write occupy wall st on my shirt, i have to pay marsca for the privilege?
What exactly is a hobo bag?
Ever seen a Charlie Chaplin movie?
Isn't this old news? Oh yeah, I see the article date of 10/25, like almost a month ago. You really must be an outsider getting news a month late. DId someone on a mule deliver the paper?
This is so called Pre-advertising for my new trademark "pepper spray"
