Before two weeks ago, there was never a trademark filing in the USPTO records featuring the words POLAR and VORTEX. In fact, on January 10th, I tweeted:
astonished that no one has filed trademark application for CARLOS DANGER or POLAR VORTEX or FISCAL CLIFF. Would make great band names!
Now, just 10 days later, there are five pending applications! Several are for clothing items, meaning their may be some ‘priority’ disputes as these applications wind their way through the registration process. Click each mark for USPTO records:
- POLAR VORTEX – for ‘Clothing; footwear; headwear’
- POLAR VORTEX – for ‘Beanies; Coats; Gloves; Hats; Hooded sweatshirts; Jackets; Outdoor gloves; Outer jackets; Shirts; Sweat shirts; Sweatshirts; T-shirts’
- POLAR VORTEX WINTER LAGER – for ‘beer’
- POLAR VORTEX – for ‘fireworks’
- Polar Vortex – for ‘Athletic apparel, namely, shirts, pants, jackets, footwear, hats and caps, athletic uniforms; Athletic footwear; Athletic footwear for men and women; Footwear; Headgear, namely, hats, caps, watch caps, headwraps’
