#2 American. Riviera. Orchard.
She throw a dictionary or something? Rolls off the tongue like Dorian.

Can't condense it to ARO without potential copyright issues either.

And you just know how insufferable she is.

All in all, another Netflix money launder scheme.

NY Post:
The former actress’ extension request comes just one month after American Riviera Orchard was slapped with yet another trademark snafu.

Rival lifestyle brand Harry & David filed a protest against Markle’s lifestyle brand, claiming the name is far too similar to its “Royal Riviera” product line.

The US Patent and Trademark Office received a protest filing on Oct. 31 from US-based premium food and gift retailer Harry & David, documents obtained by The Post show.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has faced a slew of ongoing trademark troubles since announcing the brand’s impending launch in March. American Riviera Orchard

The company’s “Royal Riviera” trademark is currently registered to the brand’s pear gift baskets, which are grown in Oregon. Markle’s team declined to comment at the time.

And in September, the mom of two’s trademark application was refused by the USPTO, who warned that businesses cannot trademark geographical locations.

The brand’s name is a sweet nod to Santa Barbara, Calif., where Markle resides with her husband, Prince Harry, and their two children.
