Meghan Markle is thinking about a new name for her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard (ARO), in case her current name doesn’t get approved, according to a source.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently rejected her application to use the ARO name, which has caused some confusion for her team.
The source mentioned that Meghan’s team might need to find a backup name, similar to what Kim Kardashian did when she had to change her shapewear brand name from Kimono to Skims due to cultural issues.
“The team is working on alternative names just in case,” the source said. “They’re a bit stressed but not too worried because Kim Kardashian also had to rebrand and it turned out fine.”
Changing the name now would be expensive because of all the branding work already done, but it’s not considered a disaster.
In March, Meghan Markle introduced her new lifestyle brand on social media and had filed for a trademark for the name American Riviera Orchard in February.
Her company aims to sell various home goods like cookbooks and tableware, as well as food and drink products such as jams and vegetable spreads. They are also considering adding a rose wine to their product line.
However, the trademark application was recently rejected. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) said that “American Riviera” is a common nickname for the Santa Barbara, California area, which makes the name too generic and hard to trademark. The USPTO’s decision was announced on August 31.
The American Riviera refers to the California area, including Montecito, where Meghan Markle lives with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie, who is five, and Princess Lilibet, who is three.
Another source mentioned that trademark disputes are common in the U.S. and can usually be resolved. “It looks like American Riviera Orchard has received a few routine office actions, which is normal when filing for trademarks,” the source said.
The Sussexes have not yet commented on the situation.
The Internet Is Losing It Over This Hidden Leopard In The Snow Picture
There are many different types of pictures that we can appreciate. They sometimes say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and I think that the picture we have for you below certainly qualifies.
The reason why it qualifies is because it shows something that is near and dear to our hearts, the ability of animals. When you think about camouflage, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? More than likely, you think of somebody wearing a camouflage outfit.
The fact the matter is, however, many animals have a natural type of camouflage and they can hide in plain sight. They may be right in front of us but unless you know where they are, you
will never be able to see them.
That is true of the leopard in the picture we have for you here. There isn’t a camouflage jacket or anything else that would hide him other than what he already has available.
When you look at the picture, however, it just looks like you are looking at a scene that you might see in any National Park. It’s amazing, but if you look closely enough, there is a leopard hiding in the picture. You can see him because he is perfectly camouflaged but they are there looking at you.
When this was shared online, people were absolutely blown away by the fact that a leopard was hiding in the picture. Automatically, they assume that the leopard is white, but that is not the case.
Like many animals, leopards are able to hide in plain sight. It helps them to get closer to their prey so that they can eat more frequently. In addition, it helps them hide from other animals that may want to do them harm.
The challenge was put out on Reddit for people to find the hidden leopard, and the Internet was absolutely losing its mind. Even though the post was put up six months ago, many people are still looking for the leopard.
Some people thought that it was a trick and that the leopard didn’t actually exist. We are going to point it out for you below, however, just so you know we are telling the truth.
I’d like to give you a warning before you scroll down to see the answer. The leopard is there and it is not some type of trick photography. Once you see where it is located, however, you
will not be able to stop seeing it.
Take a moment to try to find it on your own and then if you are not able to find it, scroll down and see the answer below.
