denied a trademark for the brand name by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the company has now faced a challenge from the government over its logo.The issue, however, comes down to how the logo is described in the application rather than the logo design. The trademark office took particular issue with what they view as a disparity in how the letter “O” appears and is represented in a written description.“Applicant must submit an amended description of the mark that agrees with the mark on the drawing,” the USTPO wrote in their “non-final action” document, according to Daily Mail.“The current description is inconsistent with the mark on the drawing and is thus inaccurate.

its trademark application was refused.The Duchess of Sussex’s team has had trouble getting her new brand over the line as the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) warned that businesses cannot trademark geographical locations.The recent rejection has sent the “Suits” alum’s team into a “spin,” a source told the Express.Insiders close to the mom of two add that the ordeal is eerily reminiscent of when Kim Kardashian faced issues with her shapewear brand at its inception in 2019.The billionaire reality star, 43, was ultimately forced to change her brand’s name from Kimono to Skims after it was accused of cultural appropriation.“The team are thinking of backups as we speak just in case,” a source told the outlet of Markle’s case. “They’ve been put into a bit of a last-minute spin but they’re not too worried because they are aware that Kim [Kardashian] also changed her brand name after launch and it still did amazingly well.”“It will be a rather costly measure if they have to change the name at this late stage due to all the branding, but it won’t be the end of the world,” the insider added.The Post has reached out to Markle’s reps for comment.Markle’s preferred brand name is a sweet nod to Santa Barbara, Calif., where she resides with her husband Prince Harry and their two children.The USPTO said on Saturday the addition of the word Orchard “does not diminish the primarily geographical descriptiveness of the applied for mark.”Markle’s team considers the pushback “routine and expected” when filing for trademarks.
