Quick…everybody file a trademark application for TIGER BLOOD!

That’s the tune Jimmy Buffett is singing as he just filed an application to protect the trademark (which Charlie Sheen recently popularized) in connection with “Vodka” and “Energy Drinks”. But Jimmy isn’t the only one covering that tune as several others have also filed applications in the past few weeks.

Now the previous owner of TIGERS BLOOD (…it isn’t Charlie Sheen) faces a trademark onslaught of nearly epic proportion. Has a trademark ever had to survive the combined cumulative dilutive and tarnishing effects of Charlie Sheen, dietary supplements and now the boozy bard of Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett? Which, if any, of the new trademark applications will survive to registration? And how long until Charlie Sheen himself files an application?

Here’s a review of the brief yet spectacular trademark history of TIGER BLOOD:

Never one to miss a beat, even Ol’ Parrothead himself is getting in on the Tiger Blood act. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a new “Tiger Blood” single on the radio before the end of Spring Break.

It turns out that someone at Margaritaville Enterprises must get drunk on filing trademark applications…463 filed so far!

Are there additional TIGER BLOOD applications to come or is this the end of the trend? I know the trademark attorneys for the two registered marks will need to be vigilant in the upcoming weeks. I’ll keep you updated.
