Three-time Oscar winner and one of the most celebrated actors in Hollywood, Meryl Streep, has applied to trademark her name to prevent anyone else from using it. The actor has reportedly filed the application with the US Patent and Trademark Office on January 22, according to TMZ.
The actor, 68, filed a trademark to protect her name for "entertainment services, namely, live, televised, and movie appearances by a professional actress and entertainer" and has reportedly paid USD 275 for the same.
With the move, she will get a copyright which will act as a legal protection so that nobody can use or sell her name for advertisements, commercial purposes and other things.
Streep's move comes just days after HBO announced that she'd be joining Big Little Lies cast for its second season. She will play Mary Louise Wright, the mother of Alexander Skarsgard's character in the show, which is aired in India on Star World.
