JAY-Z applies for a exclusive use of the roc(k) diamond symbol

According to TMZ, the rapper, real name Shawn Carter, wishes to use the roc(k) symbol in entertainment services in either music, video, TV or film.

In 2005, JAY-Z was sued by Diamond Dallas Page over the symbol, but the case was dismissed out of court. So apparently,  Mr Carter doesn’t want a repeat of that scenario. Makes sense to us. However, TBD whether he will be able to pull this one off.

This isn’t the only trademark Jay is apparently seeking to add to his businesses, though. It also emerged this week that the businessman into trademarking a fast food joint called Hovino.
