Snooki Denied Trademark For ‘Snooki’

The Jersey Shore’s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has been denied the trademark for her nickname because of “likelihood of confusion” with a 2004 children’s book called “Adventures of Snooky: Under the Sea.” Luckily, this just means that she can’t author any books using the nickname, so I think we’re OK. posted on August 12, 2010 at 4:03pm EDT
