Not Okurrr: Cardi B’s Application to Trademark Word Denied
The U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office denied Cardi B’s application to trademark the rapper’s quasi-catchphrase “Okurrr.”Cardi B’s lawyer filed the application in March, with the rapper hoping to use the phrase exclusively – either with three R’s, okurrr, or two, okurr – on a line of merchandise.
The word means “okay,” but, to quote Carbi B, “Ok is played out.”However, the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office said Cardi B did not have ownership of or originate the word in their response to the rapper.
