Meghan Markle has applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to retain the trademark for her former lifestyle blog, The Tig, which she originally launched in 2014 and discontinued in 2017. The Tig, named after Meghan’s favorite wine, covered topics such as food, travel, and lifestyle, connecting with a broad audience. Despite having shifted focus to her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, with which she plans to launch products like strawberry jam, Meghan requested an extension to complete the trademark protection process, illustrating her intention to maintain rights to her past project.
