Kim Kardashian West Has Already Filed 16 Applications to Register Her Newest Son's Name - PSALM WEST - as a Trademark

Kim Kardashian wasted no time filing applications to register the name of the newest addition to her family, her son Psalm West, as trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. On May 18, less than ten days after Psalm West was born, she filed 16 trademark applications for his name.

The applications cover a variety of merchandise, including:

• Hair accessories, namely, hair barrettes, hair bands, hair bows, hair clips, hair ties; hair ornaments, hair pins, hair scrunchies, hair chopsticks, hair twisters and hair wraps; hair extensions; ornamental novelty pins (Class 26);
• Baby carriers worn on the body; all-purpose carrying bags; back packs; handbags; tote bags; purses; wallets; bags for carrying babies' accessories; diaper bags; athletic bags; cosmetic bags sold empty; cosmetic carrying cases sold empty; toiletry cases sold empty; tote bags; duffle bags; umbrellas (Class 18);
• Strollers; stroller covers; children's car seats; fitted covers for children's car seats (Class 12); and
• Entertainment in the nature of providing information by means of a global computer network in the fields of entertainment and pop culture; entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a celebrity (Class 41).

The applications were filed by an entity called Kimsaprincess Inc., which also owns multiple trademark applications for NORTH WEST, CHICAGO WEST, and SAINT WEST. While that makes it pretty obvious these trademark applications are actually associated with Kim, she also provided her written consent to register PSALM WEST's name as a trademark with the applications, leaving no doubt these applications are actually associated with the real Psalm West.

Section 2(c) of the Trademark Act prohibits the registration of a trademark that consists of the name of a living individual without that individual's consent. In the case of minors, parents can sometimes provide this consent on their behalf. TMEP 1206.04(a).

The serial numbers associated with these applications, all of which were filed on an intent-to-use basis, are below.
