Taylor Swift Wants To Trademark 1989 Related Terms

12/14/2015
. (Radio.com) Taylor Swift's blockbuster album 1989 is her own commercial and intellectual property, but what about the year itself? According to documents filed to the U.S. Patent and Trademark office on December 3, Swift is seeking to trademark that combination of four numerals--in "stylized" form. She'd also like to own "Swiftmas."

In addition to "1989," Swift is seeking ownership of "Blank Space" and "A Girl Named Girl." The latter, reports the Independent, is the title of a novel Swift wrote at age 14 that has yet to be published. Those trademark applications forbid the use of phrases in any standard text.

Due to the breadth of "1989," the "stylization" stipulation presumably refers to overt reproduction of 1989, as branded for the album. Berlin Wall retrospective merchandise may still be fair game. Read more here.
