The trademark register is like the rings on a tree — revealing over time what is on the minds of the public. This is once again proved in the context of the Covid -19 pandemic. Just four days after the first reported case of Covid-19 in the United States, a U.S. Trademark application was filed for FLU MD<\/strong> for dietary and nutritional supplements. This may even have been coincidental, but it was soon filed by applications on WUHAN VAX<\/strong>, FIGHT THE FLU KIT<\/strong>, CORONAVIRUS SURVIVAL GUIDE<\/strong>, COVID-19 VAX<\/strong>, and CORONABLOK<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time of the first Covid-19 death in the United States on February 29, 2020, at least 20 applications apparently related to Covid-19 had been filed. Since February 29, there have been an additional 11 filings, including an applications on COVID 19<\/strong> for t-shirts and I SURVIVED COVID 19<\/strong> for clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems even a pandemic can’t keep a good market campaign down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
