Mick Jagger Trademarks His Name

Mick Jagger has registered his name as a trademark, according to British press reports. The 56-year-old Rolling Stones' frontman reportedly registered the "Mick Jagger" trademark with the European Union to prevent others from entering business ventures that might exploit his name.

Three years ago, Jagger filed for trademarks in several categories, including cosmetics, clothing, footwear and toiletries. The singer reportedly has no plans to lend his name to any product, though a spokesperson told reporters this week, ''One of the ideas he came up with, jokingly, was a Mick Jagger lip balm.''

The Rolling Stones' name has long been a registered trademark.

Meanwhile, Metallica , a band that is also a registered trademark, reportedly came to a settlement earlier this month with Victoria's Secret over a lip pencil color dubbed "Metallica." Details of the settlement weren't released, but according to wire reports, Victoria's Secret will stop using the Metallica name.
