Registering a Phrase, Slang, or Viral Term as a Trademark and Its Application in Advertising

In December 2020, a legal dispute arose between wedding dress designer Hayley Paige Gutman and JLM Couture, her employer and the owner of the Hayley Paige brand. The dispute encompasses allegations of trademark infringement, dilution, unfair competition, breach of contract, and conversion. It revolves around the exclusive rights to the "Hayley Paige" name as outlined in Gutman's 2011 employment agreement and seeks to enforce the non-compete clause in her contract. Furthermore, the legal battle involves the control of social media accounts associated with the brand. As part of the ongoing legal proceedings, JLM has been instructed to provide the current usernames and passwords for the disputed social media accounts to Ms. Gutman's legal representation by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on May 15, 2024. This directive aims to grant Gutman sole control over the disputed accounts.
