Com'on, you cannot trademark anything!!

Trademarks attempted....whether failed or approved...find out!!
Harley tried to trademark the sound of its engine.

Status: Denied

The motorcycle makers are hardly the first company to try and own a sound. NBC trademarked its three-tone jingle and the lion's roar belongs to MGM. Harley wasn't quite as lucky as its predecessors, though.

Though they applied to trademark the sound of a revving engine, it fell through when other manufactures complained that their engines sounded exactly the same.

Harley officially dropped the request in 2000.

Apple and Amazon are at war over the former's ownership of the term "App Store".

Status: Approved—for now.

Even though the "App" in "App Store" is short for application, not Apple, the computer giant owns the rights to the phrase. That didn't stop Amazon.com from launching its own version for Android phones last month.

Apple slammed Amazon with a lawsuit. Further complicating this linguistic mess is the suit Microsoft filed against Apple in January.

According to Microsoft, the phrase "App Store" has become a generic expression.

McDonald's has had mixed legal luck when it comes ownership of the "Mc" prefix.

Status: Denied

In the past, the fast food chain has emerged victorious from courtroom battles against smaller stores like McCoffee, a San Francisco cafe, and MacJoy, a Philippine fast food restaurant.

But their luck seems have to reversed. In 2009, McDonald's lost an eight-year battle with a Malaysian restaurant called McCurry. Federal courts ruled that no person would confuse the two.

In addition to your pictures and personal information, Facebook owns the word "face".

Status: Approved

As if the social networking site needed any more ammo against competitors, it recently trademarked the word "face".

But don't worry, it only applies to telecommunication services, so companies like Northface are safe.

So far, Apple's video chat app FaceTime is also safe, but we think it'd be fun to see Jobs and Zuckerberg duke it out in court.
