Everyone’s talking about how AI is coming for our jobs, is it also creating a whole new wave of trademark work?

Between protecting catchphrases, brand voice, likeness, and AI misuse, I’m curious if AI protection will becomes its own niche lane of IP protection, and whether that interests practices around the world.

Have you seen any increase in AI-related trademark work in your practice yet? Or is it still coming?

“Hey! They’re using my name!” Well, maybe not. Trademarks aren’t about owning a word, they’re about context.

Trademark trouble for Lady Gaga!

Surf brand Lost International just filed a $100 million lawsuit against Lady Gaga, claiming the logo for her new Mayhem album and tour infringes on their trademark.

Here’s the kicker: Lost International owns a federal trademark registration for “Mayhem” covering clothing and accessories, which they’ve used since the 1980s.

Why is that important?
Because federal registration gives the owner powerful legal rights—including nationwide protection, a presumption of validity, and the ability to sue in federal court for damages. That’s exactly what Lost is doing.

Whether you’re a pop star or a small business, this is a bold reminder: trademark registrations matter.

The USSPTO has become INCREASINGLY strict on specimen, so here are a few tips to get your specimen accepted. Once you have made a sale across a state line and the specimen is accepted, your mark is ready to register!
