DonPeffers Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45289440 LOL! Procter & Gamble wants to trademark LOL. "Procter & Gamble is reported to have applied to trademark acronyms that are common in text speak. If successful, terms including "LOL" (Laugh Out Loud), "NBD" (No Big Deal) and even what the devil (too rude to spell out here) could be used to market products." Surely fake news I thought, then I remembered the Star Trek boldly phrase had been patented or attempted to patent. What next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&G are going to fail spectacularly at this, unless they were trying to divert attention from something else going on at P&G at the time.
