Alfonso Riberio sues Fortnite over the Carlton dance

[Motorcity Cobra]

Is there a patent, trademark, etc... for dances?

He's in the process of getting a trademark. But from what I've read, if a dance can be easily associated with you then you dont need an official trademark.

When I was trademarking a phrase/design the Im the paperwork said i can use the TM symbol without an official Trademark if that phrase/design was my original idea and can be easily associated with me

They also stole Turk from Scrubs dance to Bell Biv Davoe.

They stole a lot of dances. Two Milly is suing them for stealing his dance, the milly rock

Aside from still being Will Smith's lackey, this is literally the only thing he has. Sad.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

that white boy is suing too for that floss dance that was popular awhile back. t

Fortinite is screwed, that game made over three billion right? This doesnt fall under fair usage because they dont mention the originators of the dance. They just threw the dances in there.

But the thing is fortnite has more money and will just settle out of court.

Backpack Kid's ALSO suing Fortnite for using his dance ... but back in June he told TMZ that he was "just glad it's in the game." 🤔 https://t.co/M1RGDrtien pic.twitter.com/U7N4kL4CHX

Is there a patent, trademark, etc... for dances?

there is for the show. i assume he gets royalties, but i don't know how a dance within a TV show is protected by intellectual property law.

i do know that he's gone outside of the fresh prince and used this dance. he used to host / mc on TV, etc. maybe he went out of its way to name, trademark, and patent. i really am not sure how all of that works, my experience with patents is with manufactured products.

that first video is honestly pretty disturbing, given that michael jackson was very blatantly attracted to kids.

How come every time you respond to me you're saying something stupid or irritating? You're one of those guys who think they know everything and have to show it. Stop being so uptight and relax. You don't have to try to impress everybody on here
