Drunk people do all sorts of interesting things.  Some people drunk-dial ex-girlfriends, others get sentimental; I apparently file trademark applications.

Yes, one drunken evening in March of last year, I decided to register “Urban Hermit” as a trademark with the Canadian Office of Intellectual Property.  Believe it or not, this can be done in the comfort of your own home with nothing more than a computer, an internet connection, and a credit card.  Less than one hour later and $250 poorer, my application was filed.

There were some snags along the way and I had to submit some amended paperwork but today I received my official Approval Notice.

You’re all on notice!
