In December of last year, Zimmerman filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office that sought to cancel a Florida woman’s trademark on “Meowingtons” after his own was rejected, The Hollywood Reporter reports. The woman in question, Emma Bassiri, owns the website meowingtons.com, which sells cat-themed apparel , stuff.
Meanwhile the producer himself also insists that he attempted to reach an agreement with Bassiri, but he adds that – now that she has gone legal – he is ready for a fight. “From the very beginning I was working to find a way to resolve this situation amicably”, he said. “Now I am forced to litigate this woman out of existence. Bye bye Emma Bassiri. I am going to protect the trademark I have been using since 2011”.
