The mustache, whether real or fake, has somehow become a fashionable accessory this year. And there are many interesting mustache trademarks in the records of the USPTO.
Several of these trademarks are “non-traditional” meaning they are not logos, but rather shapes or other three-dimensional designs such as glasses with handing mustaches and mustaches that affix to the front of a car.
