Nika Shakhnazarova, New York Post; Meghan Markle asks US Patent Office for more time to correct American Riviera Orchard trademark application
"Meghan Markle has asked the US Patent and Trademark Office for extra time to launch her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has faced a slew of ongoing trademark troubles since announcing the brand’s impending launch in March.
In documents obtained by The Post, the “Suits” alum’s legal team has requested a three-month extension in her attempt to secure a trademark for the yet-to-be released brand...
Rival lifestyle brand Harry & David filed a protest against Markle’s lifestyle brand, claiming the name is far too similar to its “Royal Riviera” product line."
