Cecil Carter applied for a Trademark for “Lip Sync Battles Irl” (lipsync battles ireland) which is interesting.
He’s also applied for, lipsync challenge show and lip sync fundraiser. Both of those applications are still pending while the one for Lip Sync Battles IRL has been granted and registered.

Interestingly, aside from the US, Ireland has the highest number of trademark applications in the world for the words “Lip Sync”
Oh Ireland, never change!

Tony Fenton Trade Mark – I got a bit of a shock to see Tony’s name in the journal, but it looks as if his brother has applied for registration of his name for Charitable purposes, so The Dude may live on. Your a WINNNNNNNNNNER:

New TV from Sky?? Well they have just registered ‘Now TV’ in Ireland:

Don’t worry though, they still have the word mark registered, so I think the Hula Hoops are safe!

Here’s the pick of our brainy inventors:
A Convertible Shoe!! Seriously, I don’t even know what it converts into and I’m already all like:
Look! Seriously! Some genius called Owen Laverty has applied for a patent for a convertible shoe. Smashing.
How’s the Auld Herpes? –
All a bit dull, Littlewoods Ireland have registered a load of designs on their ‘Very’ range.
