Meghan Markle’s Latest Legal Fiasco: A Trademark Tangle and a Lawyer’s Exit

In a twist that seems straight out of a dramatic script, Meghan Markle has found herself entangled in yet another legal debacle.

This time, it's not just gossip; it's a trademark dispute that has escalated to the point where even her own attorney decided he had enough.

According to a recent expose by Paula M, the Duchess is knee-deep in a chaotic battle over her latest brand endeavor, aptly named “As Ever.”

The irony here?

The name itself could serve as a fitting description of Meghan's ongoing struggles in the business world.

Her legal team apparently made some significant blunders, leading her lawyer to make a swift exit—one reminiscent of Netflix executives dodging another uninspired pitch from her.

It seems that when it comes to trademarks, Meghan might not have grasped the basics.

Initially, she filed for the “As Ever” trademark, only to face rejection due to existing trademarks and the complexities of legal protocols.

Who would have thought that simply slapping a name on a product wouldn't suffice?

Clearly, Meghan was caught off guard.

After realizing her premature filing, her legal squad scrambled to amend the application, dropping references to clothing.

In January 2024, media outlets reported the brand's approval, but hold on—this wasn't the case.

In a surprising move, instead of learning the intricacies of trademark law, Meghan opted to part ways with her long-time attorney—the very individual who had managed her business dealings for years.

This lawyer, now exiled from her inner circle, knows all the ins and outs of her Delaware-based ventures.

With his knowledge, he may have some stories to tell, especially since Meghan has a knack for severing ties.

Adding to the absurdity, Meghan is now attempting to register “As Ever” for various products, including coffee.

One failed investment in Clever Brands apparently wasn't enough to deter her from venturing into this new territory.

Now, she aims to compete with her own previous endeavors, which raises eyebrows about her strategic thinking.

Simultaneously, Meghan is seeking rights to produce films, audio, and web series under the same brand umbrella.

This is particularly puzzling given that she already has Archewell Productions for those very purposes.

So why create another brand?

Could it be an attempt to distance herself from joint ventures with Prince Harry?

The plot thickens.

In true Meghan fashion, she seems to be deflecting blame for this fiasco.

It's not her fault, she claims.

Instead, the blame falls squarely on her former lawyer, the media, and perhaps even cosmic forces.

Playing the victim appears to be a signature move for her, and this situation is no exception.

Allegedly, she ghosted her lawyer without any prior discussion, leaving him to discover his termination through other means.

Classy, right?

What started as a minor setback has now spiraled into a major crisis, with the potential for a legal showdown looming on the horizon.

So, what's next for Meghan, the Duchess of Rebranding?

Will we see her in another tearful documentary lamenting her misfortunes at the hands of the legal system?
