US Military Could Lose Space Force Trademark to Netflix Series

June 9, 2020 David Gonzalez Film News, Reel Talk Inc, Reel TV, TV News Comments Off on US Military Could Lose Space Force Trademark to Netflix Series

Despite the fact that The United States Space Force was only announced two years ago and has yet to engage in any military operations, it is set to lose a battle for its name Netflix’s Space Force.

Netflix premiered the series, Space Force on May 29 and while the name of the series has no relation to the division of the U.S. military, Space Force’s first battle might be a trademark war.

Attorneys for the U.S. military have done little to secure the Space Force name as a registered trademark, which means that it has opened the door for the streaming giant to claim the trademark rights to Space Force in several countries.

No word on whether there will be any pushback from the U.S military for the rights to the name. U.S. Space Force was first announced by President Donald Trump in March 2018. The military branch was officially established as a formal organization last December, while the series was greenlit by Netflix in January 2019.
