"Katrina" Trademarks
New
York Daily News reports Bad taste! Katrina booze logo sought. Apparently a few guys from Louisiana have decided to capitalize on the disaster by filing a registration on "KATRINA" for alcoholic beverages. I guess the drink is probably more potent than the average New Orleans Hurricane.
However, other "Katrina" applications have been filed since the storm. For example, "KATRINA BLOWS BUSH SUCKS" for bumper stickers and "KOKUA FOR KATRINA" for musical entertainment. However, the most startling mark was registered in 1986: "KATRINA AND THE WAVES" for musical entertainment services. You probably don't remember the band, but I would be willing to bet anyone over the age 25 remembers the hit, "Walking on Sunshine." How's that for serendipity?
