I legit thought this was a meme for a fart joke. Just sayin’

We're just copyrighting everything that exists at this point

What, now? Smells can be trademarked?

"He who smelt it, dealt it"?

I’d have gone with ‘scent’, ‘aroma’ or ‘fragrance’ in place of ‘smell’, personally.

Can’t do without poetry I see!

Enough about smell rights. It’s time for smell wrongs. *farts*

well.. that's dumb as shit

I want to come up with a cologne that smells like play doh just so I can get sued for it

I have rough news for Hasbro, steamed soy milk has been smelling like Play-Doh for years and i’ve yet to see them take legal action.

How the piss do you discover that

Steam some soy milk

You're right I'm sorry

My business for 33 years has been aroma. Coincidentally, I just tossed a new project that ended up smelling like playdoh.

Does Ivanka know this so she can own every smell? The smell of corruption

Reading that transported me back to preschool.

Oooh, That’s a great smell

They're gonna flip when they find out what expired couscous smells like.

lmao does it smell like play-roh? really? can't wait for when hasbro sues insulin production because it too, has been described to smell like play-doh. (also plastiscene, old people, and the general scent of hospitals. mixed signals out there lol)

Trump should trademark the smell of his own Putin’s-ass breath.

Billionaires are going to start selling their scents. Imagine buying a Tesla and it’s got the scent of musk. I’ll go.

I'd VOMIT actually

I'm thinking of copyrighting "Bat Farts."

The proud boys did that with tRumps farts

Seems like all rights in the united states are up for grabs. The USA is in total chaos at this moment. All businesses should be rightfully concerned. God speed America. God speed.

Sometimes learning something can actually make you feel stupider.

I don't remember what play doh smells like, but I sure know how it tastes 😂

I remember an old tale about this involving a bakery.

Interesting!

It’s a great smell. It’s the first thing you do when you open a tub. Also, because I am ancient, I recall the smell of fresh mimeographed or ditto Sheets in grade school..

I love it, too.

For me, it was the tang of fresh xerox prints, and the charge in the air around the machine.

Yknow what, good.

A little disappointed that this isn’t about protecting equal rights for all smells. @allylouks.bsky.social can we get on that?

What LOL

coincidentally I talked about how nostalgic the smell of play doh was today at work 🔴🔵⚪️🟢🟡🟣🟠⚫️🟤

Huh, I didn't know that 🤔 👍😎

It’s such a distinctive memory so many of us have. Got me trying to remember what the other brands smelled like.

So you're saying if I make a product that coincidentally smells the same, I am in breach of some kind of copyright-esque law?

Dude omg, im allergic af to gluten, and I drive a semi, and a lot of Pilot/ Flying Js have these in them and it was fucking torture being otr and needing to fuel at one 🤣 Omg, rushing to my truck to make gluten free cinnamon toast the second i left the building never even come close 😭

The Seinfeld episode about Kramer selling cologne that smells like the beach should've revolved around this.

How would one prove a smell's rights were violated?

Great, now Trump will try to trademark and then monetize his stink.

The WH nazi will be the first to purchase...

Still hoping to purchase the Trump/Miller Klan Hoodie.

Someday the smell of Trump may permeate more than his diaper, and be worth more than he is.

Da fuck? That's about the dumbest thing ever 🤣

smells play-doh jailed for copyright infringement in your nose

the more you know

Suprised Hasbro hasn't trademarked Magic the Gathering New Card Smell

In UK we are getting 2 Lynx adverts. One features 2 women smelling but one is attacked by a jealous savage dog. The second shows people smelling others backsides and genitals. Both should be binned.

I prefer my Play-Doh scentless. Anyone?

There’s a Japanese short story about the poor man who lived above a fish shop? The owner of the fish shop found out that the poor man was enjoying the smell of fish with his rice, and the case was brought before a judge. The judge asked the value and the owner said how much, and told the poor man 1/

that he had to bring that money back. After a time, the poor man returned with the money and the judge told him to empty his coin purse into his hand, and dismissed the case. Enraged, the owner demanded an explanation - the judge said “the smell of fish for the sound of money.”

Time to Musk up

Time to head back to Demeter Fragrance Library. demeterfragrance.com/collections/...

so does Steven Miller get a royalty every time someone says "I smell a rat?"

Real: Harley Davidson failed legal battles to trademark their engine sound

So somebody knows how to legally define a smell. How interesting.

"This doesn't smell right" 🌹

I would pay up to $8 dollars to see this litigated.

No. Check yourself before you wreck yourself guys.

Rotten fish smell is good for ice terrorists

Trump has smell rights to shit, the Turd Reich.

if you don't shower for more than 2 weeks you get a cease & desist from asmongold llc

Is Tim Pool doing the same thing to everyone with halitosis?

with newspaper print?

Why "smell" and not "scent" or "odor" or something? Like, why go with the most ambiguous option?

I can never forget the smell. Just the name brings it back. A lot of my childhood, my kids childhood and grandbabies childhood consisted of playdough.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell_r...

That doesn't smell right.

They better ask vanilla tootsie rolls why they stole their smell

The most important thing on the planet. Priorities.

Hell

dang ... after 50 years, I STILL remember very distinctly the smell of Play-Dough !!!!

I did not know this. Is this real?

what.

Weird, but on the other hand, I get it.

And Gwyneth Paltrow has the rights to…. Well, never mind.

😂

There is nothing better than the smell of play-doh 🤗

Play-Doh at the kitchen table. That's my mom smell. The smell of a lake when the sky starts to hint at dawn. That's my dad smell. Hasbro can eat an entirely different pile of smells before I concede ownership of either.

Does Trump hold the rights to the smell of bullshit?

I’ve only encountered smell-wrongs.

Gotta get out of the alleys...

Play-doh and paste… the smells of my childhood

Don’t the rights belong to the one who dealt it?

Maybe whoever supplied it, though they denied it.

It was my prior law firm's intellectual property team that WON THE PLAY DOH TRADEMARK FOR SCENT!

Taking the madness of private property one step further at a time

My farts smell like Play-doh. Um.

TIL that hasbro legally owns my digestive tract

Of course it was Hasbro.

How disappointing that "smell rights" doesn't mean the rights of locals not not have horrible stenches forced on them.

Yuck. Imagine having a copyright on that.

I read it, and I instantly smelled it again.. has to be fifty years. That’s a strong scent memory

Has the smell of napalm in the morning been trademarked by the US military?

No, it smells like victory, which is a public concept.

Pretty sure the side that used napalm didn't end up the victors...

Yeah, well scented markers smell like fruit but aren’t very tasty.

Does the felon trademark his smell ?? Cause I hear its disgusting.. He thinks his shit don't stink.

Ngl, I’d nationalize and license that scent in a heartbeat if I was dictator for a day. I want knockoff play doh scented cologne behind the counter of every CVS and Walgreens in America

Can Trump copyright the smell of chicken TACOs 🤔

Gotta look out for those knockoff Play Doh perfumes

Hasbro can smell my trademarked farts.

Play-doh is the scent of our childhoods

I love this type of post... #1 I learn something,however frivolous. #2 The comments. Always,the comments.
