Be Free, Left Shark!

Just read that a trademark examiner denied Katy Perry’s request to trademark “Left Shark” from this year’s Super Bowl halftime.

Whether you consider this a major failure of our nation’s intellectual property system or of our collective ability to ascertain what’s important is up to you. But I did think the examiner went a bit overboard citing “Free Willy” as precedent.
