House of Descriptive Trademarks: San Francisco’s House of Prime Rib

One month from now, 10,000 trademark lawyers will begin to converge on San Francisco for the International Trademark Association’s annual meeting.

Let me know if you want to meet up; my schedule’s packed but it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t connect!

One place I’m sure to check out: the famed House of Prime Rib. Sure, I just saw it featured on Anthony Bourdain’s show. And I’m not really a fan of prime rib. But I’m a major fan of descriptive trademarks. Where better else to go while in town for INTA? House of Prime Rib? I’m there!

What’s your favorite descriptive trademark (besides STL, of course)? My local fav is Seattle’s Best Coffee. Not protectable on adoption; mighty protectable now. How cool is that?
