The couple has been fighting for the right to use Blue Ivy’s name as a trademark since 2012. Their request was turned down, though, because the trademark was already owned by an event company.

To request a protective order for the case, Beyoncé’s initials, BGK, were referenced in a September motion filed to the USPTO in Los Angeles. Owner of Blue Ivy events Veronica Morales was questioned by BGK, who said that she was using the case to get media attention, harass Beyoncé, and reveal private information to the public.

In response, Beyoncé’s legal team contended in October that due to worries for the family’s physical safety and privacy, the proceedings should be kept secret.

Nevertheless, Morales disputed this claim, arguing that Beyoncé wanted to protect the name to stop others from utilizing it for commercial purposes rather than genuinely intending to do so.

What role does a name play? The 36-year-old has been battling to obtain trademark rights since 2012, when their first child was born, but they were refused because the event company already held the mark.
