In a tweet earlier today, metaverse trademark attorney Michael Kondoudis revealed that Gabrielle Studio Inc., the licensee of the DKNY and Donna Karen brands, has filed a new trademark application to protect DKNY for various NFT and Metaverse products and services, including:
• NFTs and digital collectibles;
• Virtual clothing, footwear, and home décor; and
• Retail store and marketplace services for virtual goods.
The application was filed on March 16, 2022, and follows similar filings by J. Crew, Hugo Boss, Perry Ellis, Brooks Brothers, and Banana Republic, among others.
"These filings continue a trend of NFT and Metaverse trademark applications by clothing brands that started last year," Mr. Kondoudis noted.
"We expect the number of trademark filings for NFTs and virtual products and services from the clothing sector to increase over the next twelve months as companies come to appreciate the need for protection in the Metaverse," Mr. Kondoudis said.
Michael Kondoudis is a Washington DC-based trademark lawyer who tracks Metaverse and NFT trademark filings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
