The term "Black Friday" has sparked debates in trademark law but has never been patented or trademarked in a way that grants exclusive rights for retail services. ?? Trademark History In 2013, a Hong Kong holding company registered "Black Friday" as a trademark in Germany. However, in 2022, the Berlin Kammergericht (their highest court of appeals) revoked it, ruling that the term had become too common to warrant protection. In the U.S., the USPTO consistently rejects attempts to trademark "Black Friday" for retail services, arguing it’s a widely recognized term for post-Thanksgiving sales, not a brand-specific identifier. ??? Origin and Usage First devised in the 1950s by Philadelphia police to describe chaotic post-Thanksgiving shopping, the term was later reinterpreted by retailers to signify moving "from the red to the black" in profits during the holiday season. While "Black Friday" is a retail icon, its common usage keeps it free for everyone to use! #BlackFriday #IntellectualProperty #TrademarkLaw
