An appeals board shut down Beyonce‘s request to keep her upcoming deposition private in her trademark battle over daughter Blue Ivy Carter‘s name.
After the birth of Blue Ivy in 2012, the “Drunk in Love” hitmaker filed legal papers with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark “Blue Ivy Carter”.
However, Beyonce’s application didn’t sit well with Veronica Morales, who owned an event planning firm, Blue Ivy Company. Morales said the trademark was too similar to the name of her event planning firm, and she took legal action against the Carters.
