An apparently growing phenomena is people trademarking profitable tee-shirt ‘phrases’ (terms which probably shouldn’t be trademarkable), thus causing problems for all those that had previously placed MBA tee-shirts using those memes – AND stifling further creativity.
What if Amazon flagged very popular/profitable memes using its extensive sales data – and trademarked such memes (where possible) itself? Then Amazon could give free range to any MBA designers to use those memes on its platform (but not other platforms)?
Win-win for MBA and MBA Tee Designers.
