The Duchess Of Cambridge Trademarks Name For ClothingBy Ella Alexander
THE Duchess of Cambridge has applied to the Intellectual Property Office to trademark her royal title, so that one of her official charities can use her name on a wide range of goods and services - including apparel. The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will see its name emblazoned on "clothing, footwear and headgear". The organisation's name was changed after the royal wedding to include the mother-to-be's new title.
"Since the name change of the foundation last year, we have been registering our new name and logo in different territories around the world," a St James' Palace spokesman told The Telegraph. "As part of that process, we have to choose any categories under which we might conceivably operate in the future. This also protects the foundation against other people using its name illegally. We included clothing in case we choose, for example, to make T-shirts in years to come, for marathon runners, etc."
Donations made to the charity - which was originally set up by the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry - have risen nearly tenfold since Catherine joined the royal family. The foundation made £4.8 million in 2011, compared with just £629,000 in 2010 - before William and Kate announced their engagement.
