“Occupy Wall Street” Files Trademark Application, Plans To Sell T-Shirts, Clothing And Tote Bags…
Let the assploding hypocrisy begin.
(Politico) — Occupy Wall Street is looking to make its mark — on everything from tote bags to t-shirts.
The Occupy Wall Street movement applied for the trademark to its name on Oct. 24, filing for the use of the mark on its website, in periodicals and newsletters, and on clothing and bags.
But the movement isn’t the only entity hoping to lay claim to the name — Fer-Eng Investments, LLC, of Arizona also applied to trademark Occupy Wall Street on Oct. 24. Fer-Eng Investments wrote in its filing it is intending to use the name on bags, footwear, hats and various other clothing items.
According to attorney Samuel Cohen of the Law Offices of Wylie M. Stecklow, a firm that is part of the Occupy Wall Street legal working group, the movement’s trademark application process will likely take months.
“Trademark filings take a while,” Cohen told POLITICO. “It generally, from when we submit something, and we submitted last week, it takes three to five months for the United States Patent and Trademark Office to get back to us.”

OWS…..Capitalist pigs…
Blabbering nincompoops they should be cleaning up the trash
Idiots.
This dovetails nicely with the fact that, globally, every last one of these asshats is part of the top 1% and, by their illogic, should be selling their I-Products and Northface gear to purchase food and, probably, marijuana, for starving kids in Africa who actually ARE part of the 99%.
What do you want to bet that this garbage go’s Gucci, Avanti or Prada. They are going to turn this into top end dreck. Some factory owner in China is smiling.
Yeah, well this same outfit likes to hide rape, so let’s not be too surprised about their hypocrisy:

I wouldn’t spend five cents on their cr@p.
They’ll have to step over their own excrement to get in the doorway of the building where they need to file the application – bunch of worthless freeloaders. Where’s a hurricane when you need one?
They need to try selling reusable toilet paper.
OWS Eau de toilette. Not perfume, it is really toilet water!
( for those times you don’t know if you are smelling your feet or your ass)
as long as they remember i have the trademark on the “gently used” ripped condom line.
Will they set up as a non-profit? Give away all that icky money they plan to rake in? Who will own the Co. ? Who is on the board?
Most importantly, did the drummers give this idea up or down twinkles?
Does the clothing come with photos of Che & Mao?
But, that sounds so.darn.Capitalist.
I’m really surprised some Weasel hadn’t already filed for the trademark by day 2 of this thing.
What’s next, incorporation? How long before they decide that they need to manufacture the clothing and bags in China?
Oooohhh, who’s gonna be the first Hollywood lefty to endorse these products?
Under what legal organization was this trademark application filed? I remember reading that one of the Occupy groups filed for incorporation, but what about all the others? Who are the stockholders that will hold legal title to this trademark? Who are the officers of this corporation and how can it be a non-profit?
I see a big fight over money ending up in the courts for years to come.

If that ain’t a made up name I will kiss your backside. Love it!!
Good!! It will be easier to identify the idiots. The smell usually gives them away.
