Other Christmas Queens Fire Back at Mariah Carey’s Attempt to Trademark ‘Queen of Christmas’

usmagazine.com:

‘Tis the season … for a feud. Singers Darlene Love and Elizabeth Chan are fighting back against Mariah Carey attempting to register the title “Queen of Christmas” as a trademark.“Christmas has come way before any of us on earth, and hopefully will be around way after any of us on earth,” Chan, 41, who has also been associated with the title, told Variety in an article published on Monday, August 15. “And I feel very strongly that no one person should hold onto anything around Christmas or monopolize it in the way that Mariah seeks to in perpetuity.

That’s just not the right thing to do. Christmas is for everyone. It’s meant to be shared; it’s not meant to be owned.”The singer — who titled her 2021 album Queen of Christmas — continued: “And it’s not just about the music business.

She’s trying to trademark this in every imaginable way — clothing, liquor products, masks, dog collars — it’s all over the map.

If you knit a ‘Queen of Christmas’ sweater, you should be able to sell it on Etsy to somebody else so they can buy it for their grandma.
