Raoul Bova Files for "Gushing Eyes" Trademark: Effort Intended to Limit Audio Dissemination
In an unusual turn of events, Italian actor Raoul Bova has filed two requests to register the phrases "Good morning, special being, with a wonderful smile and eye-popping eyes" and "eye-popping" as trademarks with the Italian Office for Patents and Trademarks. The legal representative for these applications is Michela Carlo of the Bernardini De Pace firm, who also happens to be an attorney well-acquainted with Raoul Bova's legal affairs.
Annamaria Bernardini De Pace, a long-standing personal and professional confidante of Bova, has been instrumental in his current legal proceedings, particularly in matters concerning his children's custody. Her expertise in Bova's personal and family matters is of considerable value in these delicate situations.
The trademark applications cover a wide range of merchandise sectors including cosmetics, clothing, food products, and others. Specifically, they cover classes 3, 16, 18, 25, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 38, and 41 with the Italian Patent and Trademark Office (UIBM).
The registration of these phrases is intended to stop the spread of certain personal WhatsApp audio messages, as Bova seeks to use trademark law as a tool for privacy protection. An investigation was opened on August 6th by the Garante for the protection of personal data to verify any violations of privacy regulations and deontological rules for journalists. However, no publicly available information on any data protection investigation or its outcomes related to Raoul Bova or his trademark filings has been reported.
The phrase "eye-popping" has been registered separately in addition to the full expression. The registration of these phrases is a strategy to prevent the spread of popular videos featuring these phrases on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, and their use in a humorous way by entities such as Ryanair and Napoli Calcio.
Annamaria Bernardini De Pace's involvement in Raoul Bova's legal matters underscores the complexity and delicacy of his current situation. In addition to trademark applications and family disputes, she is also assisting Bova in his separation from Rocío Muñoz Morales.
The trademark requests cover various sectors, including cosmetics, stationery, footwear, clothing, food and beverages, consulting, and telecommunications services. The status of these applications is currently under review or published by UIBM.
