OCTOBER 24--Citing the potential of “Occupy Wall Street” to become a “global brand,” a Long Island couple has filed to trademark the name of the amorphous organization responsible for the protests and encampments in lower Manhattan and other U.S. cities, The Smoking Gun has learned.
In a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) application, Robert and Diane Maresca are seeking to trademark the phrase “Occupy Wall St.” so that they can place it on a wide variety of goods, including bumper stickers, shirts, beach bags, footwear, umbrellas, and hobo bags.
(Hmmmm... I wonder how many countries the teabagger revolt has spread to?...."None", you say?)
And what makes you think that they are against capitalism? They're against the greed, the crime, and the obscene policies that they have granted themselves through controlling the congress that they bought... (And that applies to BOTH sides...)
While driving past one of the poor OWS protesters in Denver today, I felt compelled to help them with a jobs sign since their fingers were suffering from frostbite. It now reads, "One of Obama's shovel ready faithful available to work, no make that sue your greedy capitalist a$$ off."
I believe in truth in advertising.
