Trayvon hood: Trademark application challenges that of killed teen’s mother

Trayvon Martin was wearing a hoodie when he was shot dead by George Zimmerman.

The mother of Trayvon Martin, the 17 year old student that was killed a month ago while walking home from a convenience store, applied for two trademarks related to her late son: I AM TRAYVON and JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON.

Both of those marks were applied for a range of digital materials, such as DVDs, CDs and other audiovisual material, specifically:

IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G & S: Digital materials, namely, CDs and DVDs featuring TRAYVON MARTIN; Digital media, namely, pre-recorded DVDs, downloadable audio and video recordings, and CDs featuring and promoting TRAYVON MARTIN; Digital media, namely, pre-recorded video cassettes, digital video discs, digital versatile discs, downloadable audio and video recordings, DVDs, and high definition digital discs featuring TRAYVON MARTIN; Digital media, namely, CDs and DVDs featuring TRAYVON MARTIN; DVD cases; DVD sleeves; DVDs featuring TRAYVON MARTIN

Trayvon was shot and killed by a guy named George Zimmerman who allegedly acted in self-defense; at the time of the incident, Trayvon was wearing a hoodie.

Not surprisingly someone is trying to capitalize on the “hoodie” notoriety and applied for the mark JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON, for:

IC 025. US 022 039. G & S: Hooded sweatshirts

Classy! Not! 🙁
