The actor has sent an application to the Trade Mark Registry that his often-used initials not be used without his permission Shah Rukh Khan is a brand by himself. And very soon his often-used initials – SRK may become a very valuable property. TOI found out that the actor has recently applied for a trademark on his name SRK at the Delhi office of the Trade Mark Registry. However, he has not received a final confirmation on it yet. According to the rules, once his trademark SRK is published in the Indian Trademark Journal, anybody who has an objection can file a notice within three months. Interestingly, Sachin Tendulkar had applied for the same, to trademark his name SRT, earlier this year. In fact, we had told you how when Vidhu Vinod Chopra needed to use the cricketer’s name in his film Ferrarri Ki Sawaari, he had to seek Sachin’s permission. In the West, getting a trademark on one’s name isn’t uncommon. In fact, Roger Federer, Michael Jordon and Jennifer Lopez are among some of the names that have been trademarked in the past. And now, SRK is ready to add his name to the list.
