Climate activist Greta Thunberg has applied to trademark her name and her movement Fridays for Future to prevent them from being misused for commercial reasons, she announced Wednesday.
Thunberg said in an Instagram post that she and the movement “are constantly being used for commercial purposes without any consent whatsoever” for marketing, selling products and collecting money.
“This action is to protect the movement and its activities,” she wrote, adding that, “I assure you, I and the other school strikers have absolutely no interests in trademarks. But unfortunately it needs to be done.”
She added that the movement belongs to “young people” and “can — and must — not be used for individual or commercial purposes.”
The post also includes a warning against people trying to “impersonate” Thunberg or claiming they “represent” her and the establishment of a foundation to handle money “in a completely transparent way.”

Mo Money Mo Money Mo Money!
Is she the only person in the world with that name?
How capitalist of her.
If I were young enough to have more kids, she wouldn’t have to worry about me using Greta (TM) to name one of the girls.
Theta Grunberg.
Maybe her and Hogg Boy can come up with a brand.
You can’t trademark stupidity.
It is a universal term...and has an unending supply...
Separated at birth.
How dare you!
Greta!
Jeb!
Ah man I hadn’t thought of him in so long. :( And it’s my birthday too. Just messing with you, but he’s one of the worst and it nice to forget him.
That would deny any other Greta Thunberg their use..................
That would be fair use, Greta. Sh’es a voluntary public figure now. The lattitude is far greater.
See now this is one of those things that makes me wonder: Is she full of herself... or is she just full of s*&t?
So let he trademark her bowel movement. Who cares.
children of the scorn...
Someone should trademark it before her! That would be funny. LOL
