    Jay-Z and Beyonce are moving towards trademarking their baby’s name – Blue Ivy Carter. Um, okay …
    .
    The new parents want to reserve the name for possible use as a brand name for a line of baby-related products, including carriages, diaper bags and – get this – baby cosmetics.
    .
    The couple were forced to act fast in protecting the name after fashion designer Joseph Mbeh submitted an application to trademark “Blue Ivy Carter NYC” on January 11th, just four days after the child was born. A second applicant attempted to claim “Blue Ivy Carter Glory IV” for a line of fragrances on January 20th. Both claims were denied, because the Trademark Office recognized that the name belonged to the already-famous kid.
    .
    Can’t you see the roll call in Blue Ivy’s classroom now? “Mark Schwartz?” “Here!” “Julie Smith?” “Here!” “Blue Ivy Carter, TM?” “Here!”
    .
    What do you think of Beyonce and Jay-Z trademarking their kid’s name? Weird? Or no?

      Damn Jigga and B have to do what they gotta do. I guess the kid is bringing a lot of glory after all so they need to protect the name.

      well it is not every one of us who will afford it any way. Africa is not a play ground it is a battle field we don have that time, if you were going to produce baby food maybe you were going to win, not clothes, 90% of us still cant afford LV now so it wont work here bro.

       It's a cool idea I guess coz they are going to fetch substantial amount of money that may go towards a worthy course...what do you think?
