Kanye West‘s request to trademark mark “Sunday Service” so he can profit from it has been denied.The “Jesus Walks” rapper submitted an application back in July for exclusive ownership of the mark “Sunday Service” so he can slap it on clothing, footwear, jackets, etc. but the U.S. Patent and Trademark office shut him down.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, someone else already registered the name — and therefore Kanye using it would likely cause confusion in the marketplace.He’d started selling gear even before that, on Easter Sunday, to coincide with his performance at Coachella. He was hawking hoodies for $165 and $225 a pop and socks for $50.The docs say Kanye can still choose to fight the decision … but it’s unlikely to be approved.Sorry, Kanye.
