Officially, Mariah Carey is no longer the “Queen of Christmas”.

The US Patent and Register Office has dismissed Mariah Carey’s attempt to trademark the moniker “Queen of Christmas.”

The application of the American diva was dismissed when her firm failed to reply to the opposition of another artist.

The trademark would have granted her the legal authority to prevent anyone from using the moniker in music and commerce.

Officially, Mariah Carey is no longer the "Queen of Christmas".

Carey also failed to obtain trademarks for the acronym “QOC” and the phrase “Princess Christmas.”

Since the release of her 1994 single, All I Want for Christmas Is You, the star has been synonymous with the holiday season.

In 2020, the omnipresent holiday staple finally hit number one on the UK singles chart, completing a 26-year journey.

Last year, Carey’s firm, Lotion LLC, filed for the yuletide trademark, which prompted another singer, Elizabeth Chan, to file a judicial challenge in August to prevent Carey from receiving the registration.

“Monetize the holidays”

Chan, crowned “Queen of Christmas” by The New Yorker in 2018 for releasing creative holiday albums annually for a decade, criticized Carey for seeking to commercialize Christmas.

In an August interview with Variety, Chan stated, “I feel very passionately that no one individual should cling onto anything around Christmas or monopolize it in the manner that Mariah does.”

Christmas is meant to be shared; no one should claim ownership over it.

Chan added that Carey was “attempting to trademark this in every conceivable way,” including music, apparel, and booze, as well as “masks and dog collars”

She continued, “If you knit a ‘Queen of Christmas’ sweater, you should be able to sell it on Etsy so that someone else may buy it for their grandmother.” “It’s absurd that it would attract such a large number of registrants.”

Due to Carey’s company’s failure to reply to Chan’s challenge promptly, the trademark was denied, allowing knitters around the globe to continue without concern of violating Christmas copyright.

Another singer, Darlene Love, also claimed on Facebook that she was the “Queen of Christmas” before Carey’s rise to prominence.

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) and her renditions of Winter Wonderland and White Christmas are among Love’s most recognizable works.

Andy Stone, a country artist, abandoned his copyright infringement suit against Carey earlier this month.

The songwriter, who acts as Vince Vance with the band Vince Vance and the Valiants, filed a lawsuit against the pop artist in June, alleging that he co-wrote a song with the same title five years prior.

He informed the court that he would dismiss the case, but he might legitimately refile it.

As a reward for being the show’s “ultimate superfan,” Netflix brought Carey to a special early viewing of the fifth season of The Crown at her residence last week.
