Clarkson’s Farm star applies to trademark gag but faces fight from rival
Jeremy Clarkson wants to flog a range of merchandise called OnlyFarms. But the Clarkson’s Farm host’s plans have been opposed by a rival firm which is already knocking out clobber using the term – a cheeky take on raunchy website Only Fans
Bosses behind Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm Shop in the Cotswolds have applied to the Intellectual Property Office to trademark OnlyFarms. He wants to market a range of merchandise including clothes, bags, mugs and picnic gear.
But the application by Curdle Hill Farm Ltd – lodged last month – has been opposed by Oxfordshire clothing firm Hadleybelle Country. It is already selling £25 polo shirts using the slogan.
The papers are currently under examination by lawyers at the body.
Trademarks stay in place for 10 years if given the green light by experts.
Clarkson, 65, is also launching his own range of skin cream called Snail Juice.
Documents reveal he wants to produce hand, body, facial and shower creams.
Last year he suffered a blow to his plans to create his own smellies empire.
The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host had applied to trademark products like fragrances and candles linked to his Diddly Squat shop.
But his application to register the name was given the boot by the Intellectual Property Office – aka IPO.
The papers were rejected by the department meaning he does not have sole rights to use the term.
The IPO ‘totally refused’ the application.
