Beyonce and Jay-Z Trademark Blue Ivy

Beyonce and Jay-Z have trademarked their daughter Blue Ivy Carter's name so that you can't. The application was filed by Beyonce's company BGK Trademark Holdings. Not only that but the name has been reserved to produce a line of baby carriages, diaper bags, baby cosmetics and other items for the baby in your life.
But the most interesting part of all of it is they submitted the trademark on January 26 and fashion designer Joseph Mbeh filed a trademark application on January 11 and he was DENIED. Denied before the parents of Blue Ivy even filed theirs leading some to speculate that the Carters received preferential treatment in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He alleges he wasn't out to profit off of their baby but wanted to pitch the idea to Beyonce and Jay-Z. Allegedly.
However their is the exception to the Blue Ivy trademark rule and that is a lady who trademarked the name Blue Ivy in January of 2011 (long before Beyonce was pregnant with her daughter) and operates a boutique in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. If she is approached to sell the name to the Carters it would probably be akin to win the freaking lottery!
