Proctor and Gamble registers trademarks for popular text lingo
Big name product Procter & Gamble (P&G) is giving itself a cool millennial makeover by laying claim to text lingo that we’ve been using liberally for years. OMG.
The company—which owns leading consumer goods brands like Old Spice, Tide, Braun, Febreze, Olay, Tampax, and more—has filed trademarks for acronyms ‘LOL’, ‘WTF’, ‘FML’, and ‘NBD’.
The company plans to use the abbreviations on P&G’s household and personal care products.
To date no approvals have been granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which has until January 2019 to respond.
None of the acronyms have been applied on the packaging or campaigns of P&G’s products yet. What could they possibly stand for, though? ‘Lots Of Laundry’ and ‘Whip That Febreze’?

MARKETING Magazine is not responsible for the content of external sites.
After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.
We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.
Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.
Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.
Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.
Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
