Taylor Swift is trademarking "This Sick Beat"
Pop-star Taylor Swift's business-savvy associates have filed some interesting patents with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office relating to her October album 1989.
These include "Party Like It's 1989" (not to be confused with "Party Like It's 1999", "Party Like It's 2033" or "Party Like It's 1699!"), the grammatically cute "Cause We Never Go Out Of Style" and "Nice to Meet You. Where You Been?", and "This Sick Beat" (from "Shake It Off.")
Though not widely known for dropping said beats, if approved, the trademark registration would allow Taylor Swift™ and only Taylor Swift™ to put "This Sick Beat" all over a range of commercial items, including but not limited to:
Hosiery
Aprons
Ornamental pins
Guitar picks
Accessories for mobile telephones
Household utensils
Stationery
Beverageware
Storage bags
Bean bags
Removable tattoo transfers
Wind chimes
...and more. These sick wind chimes, though.
