Days after Blue Ivy was born Jay Z and Beyonce filed to trademark her name [click here if you missed that].
Too bad somebody else already owns it...
Jay Z and Beyonce's bid to trademark Blue Ivy's name was shot down last week because a party planning company in Boston has been operating under the name since 2009.
Beyonce had hoped to start a children's line using the name Blue Ivy.

Anybody dumb enuff to damn their child after their husband's ex deserves to lose the right. He even got his brood looking like Blu Cantrell.
Greenwoodian
Ha ha! Your child is not a commodity!! Devil worshipping ass mofos!!
Wow!
That woman Alexandria and her company, Blue Ivy events, really know how to throw a stylish classy event. Her website, blueivyevents.com is the business. Her gallery is nothing but beautiful.
har har har
Ain't nobody looking to buy no swap meet looking ghetto baby clothes anyway! I hate House of Dookey and I know they need to sit down trying to capitalize off of their seed...SMDH! How damned shallow? Beside, they can change the name to Blue IV Instead of Blue Ivy. Dumbasses!
FUCK THEM..IT WASN'T LIKE ANY REGULAR FOLK COULD AFFORD THAT CHEAP LOOKING SHIT SHE SELLS ANYWAY....
is blue ivy stil alive? we haven't seen her since the beginning of summer. i would have thunk beyawnce would be eager to bring her out now since it's fall...she could get away with blankets, face masks, and ear muffs
She looks like a damn crackhead in that pic
Really...did you guys really think that someone would actually want to name their child Blu Ivy? There are several names that some celebs don't have to worry about anybody copying Erykah Badu her son's name is Seven, Gwyneth Paltrow her daughter's name is Apple, and then there is Beyonce and Jay Z nobody in their right mind would name there child that name. Get a life you two.
She picked a fine time to try to go the legal route. She usually just finds other peoples shit on youtube and claims it as hers until she gets busted.
This is a sign that starting a children's clothing line is a mistake. I don't think many people would buy children's clothing from her anyways. Don't waste your time or your money on this Beyonce. There are better things you could be doing.
They will be strong arming that company any day now. Beyonce gets what she wants no matter what. And baby clothes? She can't even sell reputable adult clothes from the looks of things at House of Dereon.
They thought they were gonna get that off!!!!! NOT! told u wrong
LOL they got a pic of Bey and Jay on their site
http://www.blueivyevents.com/
The Carters lose again....
I am sure the business is booming from all the Google searches alone!
@ 1:32 those were all publicity stunt shots taken BY Beyliars personal paps, shows that no real pap is looking to shoot Baby Ink Pen
@1:43pm Long before Gwyneth named her daughter Apple a girl that lived in my apartment building told me that her sisters name was Apple. I asked her "is that her nickname?" She said no that is the name on her birth certificate. I thought who the f*ck would name their child that horrible name.
2:23 Wow. People will do anything to be different.
I thought Beyonce and Jay-Z already knew that Blue Ivy company was opened before. I mean I heard on the radio about the company when that baby was first born. But anyways, good luck with the baby line.
Only thing i can say is ....where are her STANS now??
Beyonce and Jay Z are used to getting their way. But the celebrity couple lost a trademark battle to protect the name of their firstborn child, Blue Ivy.
Beyonce and Jay Z didn’t want anyone benefitting financially off their kid’s name. They were planning to launch a line of Blue Ivy dolls, t-shirts and coffee mugs and they didn’t want any competition. But the NY patent office sided with a wedding planner who had the Blue Ivy name before Beyonce and Jay Z thought of it.
Beyonce and Jay Z filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office shortly after Blue Ivy was born in January. They filed the application after two complete strangers tried to trademark Blue Ivy’s name.
But Veronica Alexander, who owns Blue Ivy Events planning, worried that the entertainment titans would affect her business if they succeeded in patenting the Blue Ivy name. So Alexander filed her own trademark application.
“My company had been called Blue Ivy since 2008,” said Alexander, 32. “I came up with the name, and if they had won — my business could have been restricted.”
Alexandra, of Boston, MA, says she has no hard feelings toward Beyonce or Jay Z — and she proved it by posting their photo on her website. Alexander is enjoying increased business since Beyonce and Jay Z announced the name of their baby.
BLUE IVY COFFEE MUGS?? I'M GLAD THEY LOST OUT ON THIS ONE...
^^^^^Shit, I'm trying to get over the Blue Ivy dolls...lmao!
The company is called Blue Ivy. I thought they were trademarking Blue Ivy Carter, her government name. Isn't there a difference?
@ 2:21 PM
No real pap? Beyonce is one of the biggest stars in the world bitch. She get's followed by paps everywhere she goes. Have a seat.
How 'bout Blue Ivy Carter, or is that too long.
@ 3:01 so I guess Blue Pen hasn't left the house in months??? shut the fuck up
@ 2:53 WOW the only parent to pimp their kid's image with mugs and dolls and shit...better yet who the fuck would buy that? they are truly simple
This is a good loss for them. They dont have to find a real baby to promote their bullshit.
They are so fucked due to their fake pregnancy. Or should I say her fake pregnancy because he was too busy fucking little girls.
How much of your money will you spend on BIC dolls & mugs & shit?
LMFAOO @ Blue Ivy Dolls!!! And that would be real shady if they have another child. "Beyonce and Jay Z didn’t want anyone benefitting financially off their kid’s name" yea except for THEM! What a slimeball! She is Mathews daughter through and through. They are the greediest mfs alive! Just to be an asshole, I should apply for a trademark of the name "Nixon Knowles" and maybe Maury can be an investor.
Did they think someone over at the patent office would fix this for them?
The Stan's can't even defend this shit.
i think it's odd they would have blue ivy dolls when they don't even show the real kids face..would the doll have a blanket over it's face. confused
The self proclaimed billionaires still tryna make a buck. Oh how the rich & mighty have fallen & can't get up. A real pregnancy at this point will only prove the first one was a fake. Another fake pregnancy will be sickening.
Lol...I'm still laughing at the Blue Ivy dolls! That shit is so ironic it's funny!! I wonder if they were going to use the actual Blue Ivy newborn doll they using as a front as a prototype!!! OMG...my guts hurt from laughing!!!
HAHA YOU SHOULD HAVE RESEARCH THE NAME BEFORE YOUR DUMB AZZS USED IT. BUT LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE, YOU HAVE STOLEN!!!
.
Alleged ( HATE CRIME IN LOUISIANA)......Black women attcked and burned by 3 men wearing white hoods ....and putting racial slurs on the women's car written with tootpaste . This took place this sunday in Winnsboro La.
Sharmeka Moffitt, a woman of African descent was attacked and set ablaze while out walking a trail in Winnsboro, Louisiana Sunday evening. Reports on social media said the woman was attacked for wearing an Obama tee shirt but the local sher
iff’s office is denying those reports saying that Moffitt was not wearing any political attire. Little information has been released about her attackers by local authorities who are still investigating but it has been alleged that three white males with possible ties to the Klu Klux Klan are involved. Those reports remain unconfirmed at this time.
Sharmeka Moffitt was transported to LSU Hospital located in Shreveport, Louisiana were she remains in critical condition. The Moffitt family has yet to make any public statements about the attack.

Oh hell no! I hope The Carters find a way to get that so-called judge removed from the bench. This is sooo wrong!
@3:33..."would the doll have a blanket over it's face"
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
it probably would have the blanket shut over it's face and just legs hanging from the bottom!! Lmao!
# 3:12 PM
And a fucking idiot like you actually believed that article. STFU and STFD
i think it's odd they would have blue ivy dolls when they don't even show the real kids face..would the doll have a blanket over it's face. confused- 3:33 PM
___
lol!!! you are right - the doll would come with a blanket over its face!
actually, they could save a little money on the manufacturing by just having a bundled up blanket with only legs attached to the bottom - no body!
socks not included!
too bad - and there is already a children's clothing line called "carters"
Ha ha!!! That's good for them. It seems no matter what this couple does....IT IS NEVER ORIGINAL! Fall back Carter family.
What the hell happened?!!! You mean to tell me Satan, their father didn't make this happen for them? I was told he is sometimey.
BIC ink pen......
Fuck the name Blue Ivy
^^^^sometimey...so damn true. They're gonna learn sooner or later that the "god" that they would do anything for will turn against them like he's done with other celebrities. They're not above a downfall.
@4:49--Example of recent downfall: Exhibit A: Lance Armstrong. Now if that were a black person, they would have been disgraced here in the US and probably sent to jail. Oh, wait that happened with Marion Jones.
No offense here, but who the hell is "Blue Ivy" for the Carters to feel she's deemed worthy of having a doll, T-shirts, mugs, etc. made in her honor? What has she accomplished, other than being born? While her parents are celebrities, she is not. This just looks like an opportunity for them to "USE" this child as a money making machine. It's all about making a profit off of her. Period. SMDH.
they could always call it Baby Blue Ivy!
@ 6 :59 PM
That article from Sandra Rose is not true. Beyonce and Jay were never coming out with any products named after Blue Ivy. I remember there were some folks trying to sell products using their daughters name a week after she was born and that's why they wanted to trademark her name.
They never made money off Blue. They were trying to stop other people from doing so who were using her whole name.
They initially did it to make future profits from products/OPEN YOUR EYES STANS!:

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect their month-old baby's name and reserve it for future use, MTV News has confirmed.
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1678877/beyonce-jay-z-blue-ivy-trademark.jhtml
Here's the article from Rolling Stone:
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect the name of their infant daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. The new parents have plans to reserve their child's name for possible use as a brand name for a line of baby-related products, including carriages, diaper bags and baby cosmetics. Yes, baby cosmetics are apparently a real thing.

@7:48 AS MUCH MONEY AS THEM MOTHERFUCKERS HAS MADE OFF OF EVERYONE ELSE WTF ARE THEY TRYING TO DO THAT FOR?? FUCK THAT SHIT!!! DO YOU SEE OBAMA TRYING TO STOP T-SHIRT SHOPS FROM SELLING OFF HIS NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS.. THAT WOULD BE MAD FUCKED UP.. THEY MADE IT A PUBLIC SPECTACLE AND THE BITCH KNOWS HOW FLAT BROKE HER RUSTY DUSTY ASS FANS ARE.. LET THEM MAKE A FEW DOLLARS!!! THIS BITCH IS A FUCKING BITCH.. CANT NOBODY MAKE A NICKEL BUT HER FUCK THAT SHIT OFF THAT FAKE BABY OF HERS!!! HATE THAT HO!!!! BOTH OF THEM!! SHE SHOULD BE HAPPY ANYBODY GIVES A SHIT CUZ HER 15 MINUTES SHOULD HAVE BEEN UP 10 YEARS AGO!!
I remember when they filed they initially stated that they wanted to reserve it for a line of products (just to test the temperature of the public to see if it would be a good idea). When it turned out that people thought of it as greedy, it turned into a concern to prevent others from profiting from it. This is why some news articles still have that initial intention from them. It's not a lie--they wanted to come out with baby products since everyone was gushing that Blue was born--they wanted to profit of that. Don't believe for one second they wouldn't sell their own kid to maintain their fame for a few more years...
Yup...I distinctly remember hearing about the BABY COSMETICS before and thinking WTF?
im gonna say what No ONE wants to say: Beyonce's daughter is fugly! Thats why they dont wanna show her. She didnt come out looking like her mama and she dont look mixed and all that other crap Beyonce claims to be.......she may be rich but her child is fugly
What????? @ 1:10PM. I need more? Blu Cantrell is Jay-Z's ex? Am I the only one who didn't know that?!
^^ Yea Blu Cantrell is his ex, but his real love of his life is Larry Johnson. Beyonce is just Jay-Z's Prada purse that he gets to drag around and pose with.
Jay-Z got around...that little whore!
^^ Yea Blu Cantrell is his ex, but his real love of his life is Larry Johnson. Beyonce is just Jay-Z's Prada purse that he gets to drag around and pose with.
-----------------------------------------
JAY-Z'S "PRADA PURSE" BEYONCE MUST BE MADE OF DISTRESSED LEATHER, BECAUSE THAT BASIC BEYTCH IS ONE WRINKLY CREATURE.
@MizIron Box, yep Blu Cantrell is his ex...and after he started dating BeYAWNce, he transformed this dumb ho into her. Just look at Blue back in the day (in her video "Hit Em Up STyle)-she was rocking the same honey blond hair and petite figure that BeYAWNce is obsessing to keep up. Now she walking around saying the baby was named after the album the blueprint and their fave number 4-sum more shit Jay dun brainwashed her to say. She's such a puppet.
Beyonce has been rockin honey blond since 99 before Blu came on the scene and what the fuck do you know what they named their daughter after? Have a seat.
Blu Cantrell is not Jay Z's ex. Calling her his ex would imply that they dated. She was his ho. Jay never dated her. He fucked her pussy a few times and that was it. She loved his big dick and couldn't cope, so she hit the crack pipe while her career descended into the toilet.
If these 2 don't go somewhere...geesh!!
These fake mofos probably stole the name from the party planner, knowing how they roll!
Wasn't anyone buying that shat anyway! FUQ I look like walking around with Jay Z's twin on my coffee mug!
EWWWWWWWW
1:53, yet after all of that he names his adopted daughter after Blu, sounds like a case of a ''hoe'' who has his true heart while Beydumb has the ring. It won't be the first nor the last time a nigga marries the woman he doesn't love.
@ 8:31 AM
Blu, get off this post and go hit the crack pipe! Learn what adopted means before you come on here trying to sound smart and call someone else dumb moron. Blue is his biological child. What the fuck do you know who he doesn't love? He fucked that HOE and married the woman of his dreams. DEAL
I don't care what "role" played in Jay-Z's life I would not want my child named after ANY broad that my man put his wood in.
*Blu played in
Yeah, who names their child after their "so-called hoe"? There's obviously some unresolved feelings. And if you really think he named her after his album, you're either clueless, or he really has an obsession with blue things...
I am sooo over these 2 nobody would name their baby that sh*t but these 2
These two stay losing.
@ 11:08 AM
How do you know they named their child after Blu? Sit the fuck down
Her FAKE pregnancy rules out any business, except for the rabid stans.
@12:52 pm
How the fuck you know they didn't?Have several seats, plz.
@1:48 pm
That bish aint been rocking honey blond since 99 cause that's when she still looked like a black woman. She didn't start rocking that mess till she got with Jay-HO PUHLEEZE
Stans don't realize that there is a PAPER TRAIL FOR all of Jay’s Business deals, lawsuits, and trademarks are documented. For example:
1. Remember he got married AFTER the LiveNation deal went through in early April 2008 he was given 150 million up front money for concert sales this long-term advance from Live Nation that he has to pay back has a ten year contract.

2. This is not the first time Jay-Z tried to trademark something related to the color Blue. A decade ago, Jay found himself on the verge of finalizing a deal with Chrysler to create a Jay-Z branded Jeep Commander; the key to the deal was the exterior color: a trademarked shade of Jay-Z Blue paint. But the Jay-Z Jeep fell through at the last minute when a change of management at Jeep parent Chrysler iced the plans, then two years later there was a flicker of hope for Jay-Z Blue. At Rival General Motors a GMC Yukon that was slathered in his eponymous shade. But like the Jay-Z Jeep, this SUV never hit the streets, and Jay-Z Blue ended up in the waste-paper basket of entrepreneurial history. Is it possible, though, that Jay-Z and Beyonce picked such an obscure name just so that they could reserve it for commercial purposes and pay back Live Nation’s money? More on this at http://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2012/06/15/blue-ivy-carter-not-the-first-of-jay-zs-trademark-blues/
3. Brooklyn Nets Deal – Jay only owns approximately one 50th of 1 percent of the newly-relocated Brooklyn Nets the brains of the deal was Ratner, he realized that one of the ways to force people from their homes is to make the case to local government that the space would be of better public use. One of the only ways government can squeeze people out of their homes is if it decides to build a stadium. Ratner happened to have a few gazillion dollars lying around, so he brought the Nets. This is where Jay-Z came in— he recruited Jay cause it's way easier to convince a city to let you bring a sports team there if you’re a really cool professional rap guy, especially one who grew up around the place where the stadium’s supposed to be. !

Talking about trade marking , http://www.trademarkia.com/company-bgk-trademark-holdings-llc-1383248-page-1-2
This site breaks down all of Beyonce’s trademarks in detail funny though how all her trade marks were established AFTER she got married, Uhmmm????? The comment above mention how Jay married Bey after the LiveNation deal I too thought at the time was too much of a coincidence and Jay such a evil dog he probably gassed B into thinking it was all about the date 4-4-08 when it was all about the MONEY!!!
Sorry, but Blur Blur is the most BUSTED kid in the game right now. Trade Mark more like Bench Warrant.
LMAO at some of you. I am a bey fan but I do agree that they shouldnt used Blue for their daughter because I knew even though Bey named Blue because thats jay z favorite color and name of album people would say something about Blu Cantrell. Here she was a hoe and Beyonce is a LADY
