Additional Notes:
Yes, you can buy “Honey Badger Don’t Care.” The catchphrase everybody was saying after this hilarious nature mockumentary video went viral is for sale by Randall himself, the maker of the video.
You might ask yourself, “Can somebody really own a meme like that?” Yes, they can, according to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which sided with Randall when greeting card company Papyrus started printing a similar catchphrase without his permission.
We don’t have any other trademarks listed on Communer that have had their protection certified by one of the nation’s highest courts. If you buy this trademark registration, there will be no doubt that you own “Honey Badger Don’t Care” and will be able stop others from using it or any variations in connection with goods related to clothing.
We also don’t have any other trademarks listed on Communer that come with tons of free advertising. The YouTube video that birthed this meme has over 100 million views and still gets roughly 100,000 or more views each month. That’s 100,000 people exposed to your trademarked catchphrase each month. 100,000 people who will be able to find your online store immediately through Google, Amazon, or another search engine.
Is somebody else trying to sell merchandise using a similar catchphrase online? Honey Badger Don’t Care! He can kick them off of Google using this form without having to hire a lawyer. Same with Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, and more. Online platforms show tremendous deference for federal trademark owners and will generally let you remove material using your trademark even if the infringer is not selling goods related to the ones listed on your trademark registration.
Imagine being the only person on Amazon, Google, Instagram, TikTok, etc. allowed to use the “Honey Badger Don’t Care” tagline. The only person who shows up when people want to buy a “Honey Badger Don’t Care” t-shirt on Amazon as a birthday present for a friend.
This trademark are a word mark in plain text, which means it protects you for any font, color, or stylization of this slogan. It protects you from people using this phrasing no matter how they present it or what design elements and graphics they add to it. This is complete ownership of this catchphrase.
In addition to this word mark, the seller will send the buyer original, high-quality images that the buyer may use on branded products. See the bottom of the listing for examples of products the buyer can sell using seller-supplied images.
Communer will also handle the recording of the assignment agreement with the US Patent and Trademark Office for free, covering the attorney costs and government fees ourselves as part of this trademark package.
This is an amazing opportunity to own a piece of pop culture that still makes thousands of people laugh every day. This trademark is an amazing deal at this price and the value of this purchase cannot be ignored. Buy this trademark before some other honey badger gets their crazy, nastyass paws on it!

How soon will I be the legal owner of the trademark after I pay for it?
Most of our buyers become the new legal owner of the trademark within three days of paying for it. Shortly after payment is made, Communer generates a trademark assignment agreement for e-signature by both the buyer and seller. When both parties e-sign, the buyer is now the legal owner of the trademark.
As the buyer, you may want to record your assignment with the USPTO. This process does not change the legal owner, but it updates the ownership records in the public trademark database. The assignment recordation process usually takes about one month for the USPTO process, though it can take more like two months if complications arise. Once the assignment recordation process is complete, the USPTO will update the listed owner in its TESS search engine and its TSDR trademark records shortly after.
The buyer can usually file the assignment recordation themselves using the USPTO's Electronic Trademark Assignment System (ETAS) for $40. If you'd prefer to have an attorney to file it on your behalf, our partner firm JPG Legal can file the assignment recordation for $250 including the filing fee for one trademark, plus an additional $50 per trademark for additional trademarks transferred in the same deal. For example, if you bought a name trademark and a logo trademark together and you want to record both assignments, the total cost for record the assignment of both trademarks will be $300 including filing fees.
After you purchase a trademark on Communer, we'll give you next steps on how to have the assignment recorded if you're unsure how to do it on your own.
Does the buyer or seller need to file anything with the trademark office after a trademark purchase?
The seller does not need to file anything.
Most buyers will want to record their trademark assignment with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) after they purchase a trademark on Communer. The assignment recordation process enters the ownership transfer into the public record and updates the trademark's listed owner in the publicly searchable trademark database.

How fast can I get Amazon Brand Registry access if I buy a trademark on Communer?
Around half of Communer's buyers are Amazon sellers, so we make the Amazon Brand Registry process as quick and reliable as possible. Our buyers typically gain Amazon Brand Registry access within one week of paying for their trademark.
Once the buyer and seller both e-sign the trademark assignment agreement generated by Communer, the buyer can apply for Amazon Brand Registry using that trademark's registration number. Amazon will send a verification code to the seller, which the seller is then required to forward to the buyer in a timely manner as stated in the assignment agreements we generate.
As long as you apply for Amazon Brand Registry within one week of buying your trademark, the seller will not receive their money until you gain Amazon Brand Registry access. This ensures that the seller will do everything possible to give you access to Amazon Brand Registry as soon as possible.
Communer cannot control the actions of Amazon and thus we cannot guarantee that Amazon will grant the buyer Brand Registry access, but all trademarks we sell should be eligible for Amazon Brand Registry as long as they're not on the Supplemental Register. Very few Communer trademarks are on the Supplemental Register (as of this writing, none are). When trademarks are on the Supplemental Register, we warn you of that in the listing.
Do I need to renew my trademark after I buy it? When do I need to renew it? How?
Yes, once you buy a trademark, you are responsible for filing timely renewals. Make sure to track your trademark renewal deadline(s).
To see the next renewal deadlines for a trademark listed on Communer, just click the link at the top of the listing that takes you to the USPTO's Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR). Then click the "Maintenance" tab and you'll see the next renewal deadline.
