Why is it that celebrities love the light, until it isn't in their favor???

And I don't think you can coin the phrase "that's hot" pretty sure that has probably been said for damn near centuries.

I can't believe she was even able to trademark that phrase. Who was working at the trademark office that day? A pimple faced young kid.

Well...the US will have to turn to sign language pretty soon as you can't write, print, or speak any words due to trademark infringement!

Just curious. The article say's "Hilton trade-marked the phrase "that's hot" in 2004 while she was starring in the reality TV show "The Simple Life." Did she legally trademark it or not? Well I don't know but remember A catch phrase is an expression usually popularized through repeated use by a real person or fictional character. Today, catch phrases are increasingly seen as an important component of marketing and promoting a product or service. If indeed she did trademark the phrase then hallmark may have to pay.

To coin a phrase on the other hand is different. To coin a phrase doesn't really refer to a phrase coined by any specific person as it does to refer to a specific action. Coining a phrase means exactly what is says. Certain political, social, religious, or reformists groups and causes would promote their specific cause by placing a phrase or slogan on a coin that would often be handed to the general public. Under those circumstances anyone could use that phrase.
