Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the dynamic duo known for their business ventures, have encountered another hurdle in their quest for trademark exclusivity.

Just days after the sudden end of their Spotify deal, they faced a setback with their application to trademark the name Archetypes, the title of their podcast series, being rejected by US officials.

The US Patent and Trademark Office declined their request, citing potential confusion with an existing brand, dealing a significant blow to their hopes of securing exclusive rights to the name.

The rejection stemmed from an already established trademark held by Archetypes LLC, a company based in Arizona, which had obtained sole usage rights to the name back in 2015.

This prior trademark covered a range of content including books and articles focusing on topics such as nutrition, fitness, and self-improvement.

Harry and Meghan’s ambitious application aimed to encompass various areas like downloadable audio recordings, podcasts, and discussions on women’s culture and stereotypes, but it was thwarted by the existing trademark.

Interestingly, it was discovered that both Meghan and Harry had neglected to sign their own application submitted to the regulatory body, raising concerns about their attention to detail and professionalism in their business endeavors.

This oversight is not an isolated incident, as Meghan had previously made a similar mistake when trying to revive the trademark for her former lifestyle blog.

The rejection of the trademark application adds to the recent blow of the cancellation of their lucrative Spotify deal.

The streaming service announced the non-renewal of Meghan’s podcast Archetypes for a second season, marking a significant setback for the couple.

Despite these challenges, Harry and Meghan still hold other valuable agreements, including a substantial deal with Netflix signed in 2020 and a partnership with Penguin Random House.

Their Netflix docuseries, “Harry and Meghan,” premiered in December, and Harry’s upcoming memoir is scheduled for publication in January 2023.

While the termination of the Spotify deal was a setback, the couple remains active in the entertainment industry with various projects in the pipeline.

The news of these recent developments has sparked discussion among fans and followers.
