Federal trademark1 board rules Mariah Carey is legally not the Queen of Christmas

Transcript2

Carey's 1994 hit "All I Want For Christmas is You" may be one of the most ubiquitous holiday tunes3. Carey had asked to trademark the term "Queen of Christmas" for lotions4, clothes and other products.

LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Leila Fadel.

Mariah Carey's 1994 hit may be one of the most ubiquitous Christmas tunes, but the federal trademark board says the singer is legally not the Queen of Christmas. Carey has to trademark the term and sell lotions and clothes. But Elizabeth Chan, who calls herself the world's only full-time5 Christmas music recording6 artist, opposed the petition. Nothing like trademark litigation to get into the holiday spirit.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU")

MARIAH CAREY: (Signing) I just want you for my own.

FADEL: It's MORNING EDITION.
