It's bound to happen sooner or later: a celebri-baby's very first lawsuit. Awww. I wonder if Red Envelope sells an engraveable gift for this special occassion. What's all the fuss about? Seems Mama Angelina Jolie isn't too pleased that a French perfumer wants to release a scent called "Shiloh."
The mother-daughter pair have filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office to block Hors Lá Monde Corp., a jewelry-design and fragrance
company owned by Symine Salimpour, from naming its latest perfume
Shiloh. Hors Lá Monde applied for the trademark last June.
I'm sorry, but what the eff? Since when are names patentable? And I ask this question knowing absolutely nothing about patent law. I mean, shoot. I would be thrilled if someone created a perfume called "Stefania" as long as it didn't contain musk and spice notes with patchouli-vanilla undertones. What does Shiloh smell like? Humiliation and adultery?
The perfume designer claims that the fragrance has been in the works for two years and that the name (as hard as it must be for Brad and Ange to believe) is completely unrelated to the Jolie-Pitt "love child." The designer, who is Israeli, claims the name Shiloh (Hebrew for "his gift") has special significance for her.
Hey all you Charlie's, Anais's, and Enjoli's out there (you know there is one): follow this case closely. You could have some money coming your way.
