's name could be worth a lot of money in the entertainment business ... and now one man is looking to lock up the rights to his name for movies and TV shows.filed a trademark application to use the name George Floyd in the"production and distribution of television shows and movies."

It seems Mushonga is looking to capitalize on the Black Lives Matter movement that sprouted up in the wake of, because he has no known connection to George's family and wouldn't tell us his grand plans. Mushonga was mum when we asked him what he hoped to gain from the trademark, if approved, and refused to divulge why he filed the application or the inspiration behind it.

The guy could be facing an uphill battle in his quest to lock up the rights to George Floyd's name ... the United States Patent and Trademark Office generally doesn't allow trademarks for people's names unless certain conditions are met, such as getting the consent of the person, the name being very unique, or the name being part of a unique and widely recognized brand.

haha typical ni... wanting to make money out of others

American Greed

Anything for a dollar

Nice try but you can’t trademark names

Look all same, all file trademark, money for nothing

How disgusting... the lack of respect this racist has is demonic. But don’t worry, blacks people will find their way around that in the unique ways they do.

piperboywilliam Smh

piperboywilliam He won’t get it, unless the family slows which they won’t publicitystunt

And there it is.

Gots tah git him dat cash! Mo money, mo money, mo money!

Is it the cops that murdered him?

There is cure for HSV and HIV,i was suffering frm it until i came across a post about this Herbal Doctor that cured me within 2 weeks,i never believed until i was fully cured from the virus,u might need his help too on Drizazaherbalcurehomegmail.com or whats-app +2348103355314

There’s always an opportunist. 🙄

That pregnant lady gun scene gonna be intense!

Can you literally do that without the families consent?

Who is going to play the pregnant woman he robbed and held a gun to her stomach I wonder?

So we gonna start censoring shit now? SMH Idiocracy

TMZ finally realized that its comment section is full of hate speech and they removed it...

Munemo Mushonga! We coming for you!

Who tf is tryna profit off of his passing

So all of a sudden he is someone to make money off of 🤦🏽‍♂️ smh

😄😄😄😄😄he's got NO chance!!!!!

Waaaaoooh.

Smh

Are they going to show when he put a gun to the pregnant woman stomach in the movie 🤔🤔

Unfortunately this life has been done many times before so cant trademark criminals it's illegal lol

What will the movie be about his life as a criminal.... I mean he should never had died in the matter he did but are we really making him a marder

If they trade mark it.. They can also make his name disappear. Sue anyone who uses it. His family should have his name.

Just shows the only colour anybody really cares about is green

Can y’all stfu ? Like why does this matter ? So this justifies why a human being was kneeling with both knees on his neck ? No one on this earth is perfect.

Why the movie will be banned by BLM.

Should be boycotted

Do you think they will show the part when he robs a pregnant woman in her own home and holds a gun to her stomach in the movie?

Of course. It was only a matter of time. 2020theMovie

Ridiculous!

This country is f in going nuts

The man hasn’t even been in the ground for a full 48 hours and already someone is looking to benefit from his death. The family should get a cease and desist. He’s not a human capital pawn and it’s disgusting! RIP JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

pcie27 sounds like mwana wevhu afunga pahombe...

I can’t wait for the film industry to leave out all the parts of him sticking a gun to a pregnant woman’s tummy and being a crackhead.

Won't work

Sick world

This is the most disgusting thing I've ever fucking seen in tv

Will it be about holding a gun to a pregnant woman?!?

Okay listen. I am all for getting justice for his death, along with countless others. But now y’all taking this WAY TOO FAR! This is why Candace Owens said what she said about glorifying him. Less time trying to idolize him and more time talking about justice and police reform.

Looks brilliant

Hopefully they show he was an addict

no one should capitalize off this mans murder but HIS FAMILY

Yesss!! Don’t let big companies take advantage of the history your brother is making 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
