Here’s how you know there’s always light at the end of a tunnel: Some smart, quick entrepreneurs are profiting from our President’s recent Twitter error, and will soon have the beverages to prove it.
According to Munchies, “more than a handful of would-be entrepreneurs have filed legal docs” to trademark “covfefe”, inspired by Donald Trump’s viral tweet that read, “Depsite the constant negative press covfefe”, which left the Twitterverse perplexed, but eager to jump on the opportunity to mock the man in power.
If you take a look at the trademark searches for the nonexistent word, it looks like quite a few people already have trademarked t-shirts. A deeper look also shows that covfefe coffee and covfefe beer are also being trademarked – because everyone wants to sip on something inconspicuous and confusing, right?
Those with the covfefe coffee trademark will likely play on the idea that the two words are quite similar, depsite the fact that one is an absolutley necessary product, whereas the other is proof that we should use spellcheck on Twitter. The covfefe beer trademark, on the other hand, has been reserved by California’s Barley Forge Brewing Co., most likely in an effort to drink its sorrows away.
