Kanye West has filed paperwork for a bizarre trademark to launch product lines for everything from biological cloning, computer hardware and others.
The 46-year-old controversial rapper filed nine separate trademark applications for the phrase ‘I miss you when I wake up before you’ with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on January 11, 2024.
Kanye wrote that same sentence as a caption on Instagram honoring his wife Bianca Censori for her 29th birthday on January 6, 2024.
The products the rapper is seeking to protect with the trademark are a seemingly random assortment, including home design services, design of signage, exploration services in the field of the oil, gas and mining industries as well as a website featuring charitable fundraising services and information – as per the trademark filing.
The trademark application filed by Kanye West has been accepted by the trademark office, but has not yet been assigned to an examiner.
To secure protection of “I miss you when I wake up before you,” the rapper will have to show how he plans to actually use the trademark with each of the products and services listed in his application.
