American authorities have ruled that singer Mariah Carey cannot claim the title of “Queen of Christmas”. All I want for Christmas is you After the holidays may top the charts, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (OABM) has refused to reserve the “Queen of Christmas” name for the diva, several American media outlets revealed Wednesday.
Mariah Carey’s application to trademark the “Queen of Christmas” trademark—along with the abbreviation “QOC” and the consolation prize “Princess Christmas”—was made public last July. The OABM Appeals Committee just answered “No”, “No” and “No”.
On the way to the coronation, Mariah Carey was passed by a tree by her countrywoman Elizabeth Chan, who sang nothing but Christmas jingles. A Grinch to some, a benevolent fairy to others, the singer vehemently opposed the brand’s filing before an American administrative body. With success!
“Christmas is for everyone,” Mr.me Chan in a press release. “It’s made to be shared – it’s not to be possessed.”
