After abandoning the “Sussex Royal” idea, Meghan and Harry chose a new name: Archewell.
But can she claim ownership of a word with a long history?
Words and their inherent power are clearly important to Meghan.
Does the duchess have a case?
“The benefits to trademarking brands are all about protection and defense.
It helps to prevent others impersonating or stealing brand assets.”
Despite archetypes being a commonly-used word, Meghan has a shot at obtaining her trademark.
The couple owns anetwork of 11 companiesbased in Delaware, according toThe Telegraph.
In addition, Meghan has been an entrepreneur since childhood.
During an interview withThe New York Times, she talked about her first foray into business.
She added, “I had invested in myself and done this labor and been compensated for it.
There’s a sense of pride that comes from that.”
Beckham wanted to prevent local soccer team Peterborough United from trademarking it instead, as the club’s nickname.
Judging bytheir website, though, she was not successful.
They threw out an appeal, from publisher Associated Newspapers, based on newsworthiness.
Meghan might soon be victorious in court once again.
