LET'S GET READY TO RHUMBLE

LET'S GET READY TO RHUMBLE


Above is the UK’s first trademarked logo. The Bass Brewery, founded in 1777, trademarked this logo in 1875. The world’s first trademarks, it is claimed, originated during the Roman Empire when blacksmiths marked their swords that they forged. The German brewery, Löwenbräu, trademarked its lion logo in 1383. In the US, the first trademark issued, in 1870, was an eagle logo, with the words ‘Economical, Brilliant’, to the Averill Chemical Paint Company.

Let's Get Ready to Rhumble was a hit single in 1994 for PJ & Duncan. The duo, Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly and better known as Ant & Dec, re-released the single earlier this year to raise monies for a ’s charity. The song’s title includes a deliberate spelling mistake. The song is not called Let’s Get Ready To Rumble because that phrase is trademarked by Michael Buffer, an American boxing and wrestling announcer. Michael Buffer obtained a trademark for his catchphrase, Let’s Get Ready To Rumble, in 1992. It is reported that he has earned over $400 million from licensing his catchphrase. Though not confirmed, it is widely reported that Ant and Dec still have to pay monies to Michael Duffer for their hit single’s name even though it has an extra letter in its title.

Forbes has claimed that McDonald’s has the world’s most valuable trademarks. McDonald’s has trademarked the phrase, I’m Lovin’ It. In 1923, the author Edgar Rice Burroughs trademarked his Tarzan character – trademarks last forever, copyrights do not. An American publishing company, Entrepreneur Media Inc, owns the U.S. trademark for the word ‘entrepreneur’ and takes extensive legal action against any company using the word as part of its branding.

Do you think words or phrases should be trademarked?
Do you have any catchphrases?
What phrases would you trademark to get rich?

I would trademark the phrases, ‘I love you’, ‘can you suck my cock?’, and ‘Affairlook is shit’. I often say the phrase, ‘that’s not a look good’. Could I trademark it?

 Disney was quite influential in the "updating" of trademark and copyright laws. (They needed to protect their precious songs.)

I'd like to trademark some of those annoying phrases to keep people from saying them. Like - "Sup?"

I've tried several times to upload the Bass logo; I wonder whether the problems were down to trying to uploading a trademarked logo!
I'll keep trying; after a while, the Affairlook software gives up!

 I saw it when I made my comment. It was on your main page, but not in "comment" page.

 1. Only of they're associated with commercial product branding, the guy who copyrighted the 'Keep Calm.....' things is a complete chancer and that should never have been allowed. I think of words in the same way I do water, they should be a free resource to all.
2. Hawkeye the noo! Not realy mine, and I might consider copyrighting it but for the fact that I'm probably the only person who uses it!
3. Haddaway n shite man. I think it'll catch on outside of Geordie land!

 I would trademark "Fuck you" I have heard it in many countries. Seems to be more widely known that Hello.
I don't know that I have a catch phrase. If you ask my mini's they would say I use, "get a job" often.
I find trademark laws fascinating. In this day when intellectual property is broadcast world wide, protecting you phrases seems to be more important than ever. I have even looked into it because of my blog on here.

Trademarking annoying phrases, now that's a great idea!

There is a Keep Calm Campaign e-petition with over 3,000 signatures.

You would be a very rich woman if you had the 'fuck you' trademark!

Another similar case, which I think is still ongoing, is a dispute over the Budweiser name between the large American brewing company Anheuser-Busch and a small Czech brewery Budejovicky Budvar.
