Following with the trend of trademarking one’s name is the Duchess of Cambridge.
Her royal highness Kate Middleton recently applied to the Intellectual Property Office to trademark her royal title—but for a good cause.
This is so her official charities can use her name for goods and services.
The new name of the organisation—‘The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry’—will be seen emblazoned on “clothing, footwear and headgear”, according to British Vogue.
“Since the name change of the foundation last year, we have been registering our new name and logo in different territories around the world,” a spokesperson from St James’ Palace told The Telegraph. “As part of that process, we have to choose any categories under which we might conceivably operate in the future. This also protects the foundation against other people using its name illegally. We included clothing in case we choose, for example, to make T-shirts in years to come, for marathon runners, etc.”
