Meghan Markle has hit one more obstacle in sending off her American Riviera Plantation brand.
Days after the Duchess of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍 experienced another brand name botch, the US Patent and Brand name Office has denied her most recent application due to her image&#8217;s logo.
The USPTO pointed out the O in the brand&#8217;s badge, asserting that its &#8220;depiction is conflicting with the imprint on the drawing.&#8221;

The US Patent and Trademark Office denied her request on the grounds that businesses cannot trademark geographic locations
“Descriptions must be accurate and identify only those literal and design elements appearing in the mark,” reads the official “non-final action” document response from the USPTO, per the Daily Mail.
“In particular, the current mark description indicates that the letter ‘O’ appears in the mark. However, the letter is now clearly visible or highly stylized that it is unrecognizable as a letter. Furthermore, the description is incomplete because it does not describe all the elements in the mark.”
Though, some of the issue could be amended if Markle was to take the office’s advice to edit their description to the suggested wording.

The office also took issue with the brand’s logo, claiming that the description of the insignia does not match the drawn depiction

“In particular, the current mark description indicates that the letter ‘O’ appears in the mark. However, the letter is now clearly visible or highly stylized that it is unrecognizable as a letter,” the “non-final action” document reads
“The following description is suggested, if accurate: The mark consists of a double lined octagon enclosing the stylized and overlapping letters ‘AR’ and incorporating decorative and looping lines. The latter ‘A’ contains a stylized flower at the top of the letter,” the statement shared.
Prior to the new issue, Markle faced another problem with the USPTO after the office denied her application because the office doesn’t allow businesses to trademark geographic locations — meaning the “American Riviera” nickname for the area where Markle and her husband Prince Harry settled in Montecito, Calif., is out of the question.
Sources told Express UK that the rejection has sent Markle’s team scrambling for new ideas and are even considering a move similar to Kim Kardashian’s decision to change the name of her shapewear brand to Skims after it launched.
“The team are thinking of backups as we speak just in case,” said the source.

The latest snag has reportedly left Markle and her team scrambling for new ideas — even considering a complete name change
&#8220;They&#8217;ve been placed into somewhat of a latest possible moment turn however they&#8217;re not excessively stressed on the grounds that they know that Kim K likewise changed her image name after send off it actually did incredibly well.&#8221;
The insider added, &#8220;It will be a fairly expensive measure in the event that they need to change the name at this late stage because of all the marking, yet it won&#8217;t destroy the world.&#8221;
Markle originally sent off her American Riviera Plantation brand in Spring, guaranteeing the brand wanted to sell eatable deals with like jams, sticks and spreads and silverware staples like cutlery, table cloths and drinkware.
In April, she prodded the organization&#8217;s contributions by appearing its most memorable item: rural containers of new jam.
