Meghan Markle & Harry hit by huge blow - crucial trademark blocked

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry’s trademark bid for Archewell is facing a setback, an insider has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex applied to have their charitable organization Archewell Foundation and their production company Archewell Audio protected by company law in America. Harry and Meghan, who quit royal duties last year for a new life in California, filed documents with the US Patent and Trademark Office requesting sole use of the terms.

But their trademark bid has hit a stumbling block, Richard Eden of the Daily Mail has reported. The Sussexes have been told the applications need clarification before they are successful.

In the application for Archewell Audio, Harry and Meghan said the firm was for the “creation, development, production and distribution of podcasts, audio programs, music, and audio books”.

But the office replied: “Applicant must clarify that these are entertainment-based services.”

The application also said the company would create: “Live podcast performances, live stage performances, live music performances, and live audio-book readings.”

The office responded: “Applicant must clarify these are entertainment-based services.” It also said they needed to “specify the nature of the ‘live stage performances”. And for their Archewell Foundation application, the Sussexes have been asked to give more details on the web apps they hope to provide.

Harry and Meghan have six months to respond or both applications will be scrapped.
