Meghan Markle has recently filed a request for a three-month extension from the US Patent and Trademark Office concerning her upcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, amid ongoing trademark challenges.
Markle's lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, faces opposition from the brand Harry & David, claiming the name closely resembles their registered 'Royal Riviera' trademark, raising concerns about brand confusion.
The USPTO previously rejected Markle's application, citing that businesses cannot trademark geographical names, noting that the inclusion of 'Orchard' does not mitigate its geographical significance.
In light of recent issues and the potential risk of having to restart the application process, Markle's legal team is actively seeking more time to navigate these trademark hurdles.
