We love living in a country that is founded on pure capitalism, and apparently, so does Charlie Sheen.In a classic move that can only portend to a great future of products, some that may radically change the world as we know it, Charlie Sheen has moved to trademark over twenty of his most famous catch-phrases.And if we’re lucky, someday we may all be able to eat, drink, wear, listen, sleep, workout, poop, and watch something branded with the red-hot irony that is Charlie Sheen.Here is a partial list as we have it so far:Adonis DNA, Duh, Winning, Vatican Assassin, Tiger Blood Rock Star from Mars, Sheen’s Goddesses, “I’m not bi-polar, I am winning”, Violent Torpedo of Truth, Defeat is Not an Option, Sober Valley Lodge, and Sheen’s Goddesses.Official records show a California company formed just last month and calling themselves “Hyro-gliff” filed multiple trademark applications in March 2011. The filings show the company address as the offices of Sheen’s attorney, Marty Singer.But there is already plenty of competition. Two other companies are seeking the trademark to “Adonis DNA”, “Winning!” and “Tiger Blood.” The suggested uses range from a clothing line to nutritional supplements.The filings do not guarantee that any of the products will ever be made, but if approved they will protect Sheen's name and interests from anybody who tries to make products from his sayings.Uncle Charley has already been selling T-shirts and other merchandise on his website and at his live shows using some of the phrases. That would give him an advantage in claiming trademark rights, said an attorney.It could take a year or more for the government to register the trademarks, but the fact that he is selling merchandise with the phrases protects his interests. He will have a much stronger claim to those trademark rights than any third party.What is your favorite Sheen-ism?

Charlie Sheen Moves To Trademark 22 of His Classic Sayings
We love living in a country that is founded on pure capitalism, and apparently, so does Charlie Sheen.In a classic move that can only portend to a great future of products, some that may radically change the world as we know it, Charlie Sheen has moved to trademark over twenty of his most famous catch-phrases.And if we’re lucky, someday we may all be able to eat, drink, wear, listen, sleep, workout, poop, and watch something branded with the red-hot irony that is Charlie Sheen.Here is a partial list as we have it so far:Adonis DNA, Duh, Winning, Vatican Assassin, Tiger Blood Rock Star from Mars, Sheen’s Goddesses, “I’m not bi-polar, I am winning”, Violent Torpedo of Truth, Defeat is Not an Option, Sober Valley Lodge, and Sheen’s Goddesses.Official records show a California company formed just last month and calling themselves “Hyro-gliff” filed multiple trademark applications in March 2011.

Jimmy Buffett Tiger Blocks Charlie Sheen – Trademarks Tiger Blood Name
You know Jimmy Buffett. Laid back, steel drums, music from paradise, margaritas…Well, it appears Buffett’s blood may also contain some fast acting entrepreneurial spirit because he has just filed papers with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the name “Tiger Blood” for use with his own products.Buffett’s Company, “Margaritaville Enterprises LLC” disclosed in their filing that they plan to use the name for energy drinks and vodka products. How original.As we all have come to know over the last month, “Tiger Blood” is the code word Charlie Sheen invented to help describe his world of Vatican Assassins and Warlock drive.The real kicker? If Buffett is successful, then Charlie Sheen won’t ever be able to use the word “Tiger Blood” with any of his products without paying a huge licensing fee to Buffett.I’m not sure I’d want to make Charlie mad right now, but you got to think he is none too happy with this development.No word yet from Sheen’s camp… or his Goddesses.
