Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of football legend David Beckham and fashion icon Victoria Beckham, has been forced to withdraw an application to trademark his name for business purposes. The move comes amid reports of a simmering family dispute over branding rights.
The 24-year-old aspiring entrepreneur had sought to secure exclusive rights to use his name in connection with various ventures, including entertainment, fashion, and advertising. However, the application was abruptly withdrawn following objections from undisclosed parties.
Insiders suggest the decision may be linked to tensions within the Beckham family over control of their collective brand. David and Victoria Beckham have built a multi-million-pound empire around their names, leading to potential conflicts as their children branch out into business.
This isn't the first time Brooklyn's business ambitions have made headlines. The photography enthusiast previously launched a much-criticised photography book and has dabbled in modelling and culinary ventures. His latest setback raises questions about whether he'll need to rethink his branding strategy moving forward.
Legal experts note that trademark disputes among family members are increasingly common as celebrity offspring seek to capitalise on their famous names while parents aim to protect established brands. The Beckhams' representatives have declined to comment on the matter.
