Katy Perry is having trouble getting the trademark for left shark
Katy Perry’s performance during halftime at this year’s Super Bowl is still a hot topic at the U.S. Trademark Office. Katy got bad news that her company’s initial attempts to register a “Left Shark” design had been rejected.
Dancing with two background dancers dressed as sharks, Perry had social media buzzing during her performance.
The “Left Shark” became an Internet meme after the Super Bowl, so Perry’s team tried to capitalize. They included a registration on the design as well as the phrases, “Left Shark,” “Right Shark,” “Drunk Shark,” and “Basking Shark.”
According to the Trademark folks, there’s not enough evidence submitted yet that consumers look at “Left Shark” and think a Katy Perry music performance.
