Meghan Markle's American Riviera Orchard Trademark Application Denied

The USPTO cites geographical descriptiveness as the primary reason for the denial, giving Markle three months to respond.

  • Markle's new lifestyle brand aims to sell home goods, food, and beverages.
  • The USPTO's decision is nonfinal, allowing for an appeal or adjustments.
  • The brand name refers to Santa Barbara, California, where Markle resides.
  • Previous attempts to trademark the name 'Archetypes' were also unsuccessful.
  • Markle has promoted the brand with celebrity endorsements and social media teasers.
