I don't know enough about branding or contracts related to name trademarks to have any idea what really happened but given how overdramatized and exaggerated the 'first dance' and ' 11th hour wedding dress' stories are I don't doubt this is more of the same.

I am sure David and Victoria were controlling - they are major public figures. But he didn't exactly strike out on his own. He just jumped into a different rich and famous family with controlling people who have a well documented history of treating others poorly.

Yes, when they were children. Brooklyn wasn’t a child when he married so there was no need to continue to own the trademark for his name.

As many others have said, he’s never really done anything. All of his attempts have petered out.

It sounds like from the article, it wasn't specifically about who owned the trademark. It was about contracts and Brooklyn refused to sign on. Sounds like he already had control. According to the article, the trademark was for ten years and expires in Dec 2026.

Oh even better. He doesn’t need to be part of the family contracts if he doesn’t want to.

So the person on the previous page was most likely right. She wanted to be a Kris Jenner and make a nepo baby empire for her kids. She must have been trying to get him to sign an agreement that she can still have the rights and he won't apply for it himself before the wedding.

I don't see any similarities. Kris had nothing of her own before she started making money through her kids. The Beckhams built an empire on their own and probably want to protect it- in part for their kids inheritance, including Brooklyn. Brooklyn and Nicola have no clue what goes into building a business.

Btw the Peltz are hard core MAGA.

Who cares? Does that mean the Beckhams should hold the trademark and family contract over his head? He doesn't want to be part of it. Thats what happens when your kid grow up and decide to do other things.

Thats what it comes down to most of the time. If neither wants to be cordial then Brooklyn had to choose.

Obviously Brooklyn would choose his wife. Victoria gravely miscalculated.

Victoria is just your typical DCUM mother.

Yes, Posh Spice, she's just like us!

My kids will also have to pry their trademarked names out of my dead, cold hands.
