Guess Cardi won’t be able to cash in on her well-known catchphrase after all.
The hip-hop star was refused a trademark registration after filing to lock down her phrase, “Okurrr.”
U.S. Patent and Trademark officials explained that Cardi’s slogan falls under the category of “widely-used commonplace expressions,” and did not fit the bill to deserve a trademark.
They also noted that Okurrr, “is a slogan or term that does not function as a trademark or service mark to indicate the source of applicant’s goods and/or services,” and that it does not distinguish itself from other similar marks.
