Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, arrives at Variety’s Power of Women on Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023, at Mother Wolf in Los Angeles. Meghan Markle has been hit with another setback in her efforts to receive a trademark for her proposed American Riviera Orchard food products and lifestyle brand.
Harry and David’s protest against Meghan’s proposed American Riviera Orchard trademark has been deemed “relevant” because of the “likelihood of confusion” and has been referred to the trademark office’s examining attorney, the Daily Mail said.the Princess Diana biographer and former Vanity Fair and New Yorker editor.
A year ago, Meghan tried to secure a trademark for The Tig, the lifestyle blog she began when she was a TV actor on the show “Suits,” before she began dating Harry. But the Daily Mail said this trademark bid hit a snag when she failed to submit a “statement of use” with her application, thereby obliging her attorney to seek a six-month extension.
To scoop the Daily Mail, Meghan pulled the trigger on her American Riviera Orchard launch, sharing links to an Instagram page and website. She also had her celebrity friends publicize jars of strawberry jam and dog biscuits that carried the label.
