*The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has rejected Kanye West’s application to register the name “Sunday Service, because the title was claimed back in 2015 by a man who used the name for his event company.
We previously reported… West filed to register “Sunday Service” on July 19 for use in the apparel space, including on shoes, tops, dresses, pants, jackets, scarves, loungewear and socks. The filing was made by Mascotte Holdings, the company he teamed with to file trademarks for “Yeezus,” “Yeezy,” “Red October,” “Yandhi,” “Calabasas Clothing,” “Donda,” “Half Beast” and “Kanye West” (among others), per THR.
Ye’s Sunday Service is a weekly gathering of artists and celebrities while a choir serves up arrangements of popular songs. In April, West brought the service to Coachella, where he sold religious-themed apparel — soon after, he filed to trademark the phrase.

According to the application, the trademark was to be used on footwear, dresses, pants, jackets, scarves, loungewear and socks. TMZ reports Kanye still has the option to fight USPTO’s decision before the application is abandoned.
Meanwhile, Ye has been taking his Sunday Service across the country, including stops in Chicago, D.C., Detroit, Dayton, Ohio, Salt Lake City, and Cody, Wyoming.
During his recent event at Howard University, Kanye is seen in footage from the service telling the crowd: “Next time the slave nets come out, lets all try and not stand in one place.” The troubling comment was met with confusion and deep silence (see the moment via the Twitter video embed above).
Ye then ranted about his debt and being cancelled by the culture.
“I was in debt, I was in the mental hospital, I was canceled but the power belongs to God,” he said. “ As we stand here right in the yard of Howard University, does this look like canceled to you?.”
If you haven’t cancelled the rapper, Kanye’s “Jesus Is King” album is expected to drop Oct. 25, the same day its companion film hits IMAX theaters.
