, filed an opposition to Carey’s move earlier this year. According to the document, the judgment went against Carey because “no answer had been filed” after Chan contested the trademark attempt.
Chan’s lawyer, Louis Tompros, who led the WilmerHale team representing the singer, calls it a case of “trademark bullying” on the Carey team’s part. “Part of the reason that we got involved was that this was a clear David versus Goliath scenario where we have a well-funded, global celebrity trying to get a trademark in dozens and dozens of categories, in a way that really hurts Elizabeth, who has her own much smaller business. And justice prevailed.
Chan recently released her 12th Christmas album in a row, including the single “Merry Merry,” which now sits at No. 4 on the Mediabase current holiday chart, having peaked so far at No. 3. It’s the 10th charting single she’s had in a career that has had her writing, recording, producing and releasing her music herself, finding a lot of notoriety in the press along the way as well as a presence at AC radio for about two months every year.
Chan says she first found out about Carey’s trademark bid during the normal legal process that surrounded her pending release of a spoken-word album that was called “Queen of Christmas” in 2021. “My entertainment attorney at the time found the filing and flagged it to me. Had I not done that record, I might have not have never known and she might have gotten the trademark today.”
“And I’ve always had that very deep understanding of the beauty of Christmas music and the beauty of letting other people be that person to usher in the season. We are not gonna be here forever, but we should always pass down these traditions and we should always encourage others to do the same.”
Um, Mariah dropped the request and didn't want to be bothered responding to a peasant. She knows she doesn't need the trademark to be the QueenofChristmas Putting that on the title would not get a click tho...do better
Who the fuck is Elizabeth Chan?
Well I guess it worked in her favor…Never heard of her until today 🤷🏽
The Universe gives balance at the most critical of times....
Every Christmas Mariah Carey makes on average anywhere between $600,000 to a Million from All I Want For Christmas Is You. This failed cash grab is pathetic.
