Olivia Jade Gets Trademark Applications Kicked Back for Poor Punctuation

Lori Loughlin's daughter is once again involved in drama over her applications and has been notified by government officials that she's in danger of losing a stronghold on something that really matters to the influencer ... her makeup line.
According to documents obtained by The Blast, 19-year-old Olivia Jade Giannulli has been notified that she's in danger of having a couple of her trademark applications abandoned, including filings for "Olivia Jade Beauty" and "Olivia Jade."
Officials from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office claim Olivia Jade's applications for "make up kits" with "moisturizer" and "concealer" is too broad and needs to be specified.
Their biggest gripe, though, was with Olivia Jade's improper use of punctuation. USPTO officials noted that, "Proper punctuation in identifications is necessary to delineate explicitly each product or service within a list and to avoid ambiguity," and reminded her, "Commas, semicolons, and apostrophes are the only punctuation that should be used."
Olivia Jade will get a shot at turning in a corrected application, but this is the second time she's been warned and officials note they need the new document in a timely manner or she will have the entire application thrown out.
The warning was given to the star days after her parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, were arrested and charged with mail fraud. Ironically, the attorney who is handling her parents' defense, Perry Viscounty, also handled the trademark applications.
The social media star has not posted anything since Operation Varsity Blues went public and her enrollment at USC was proven to be a sham. She remains enrolled at the university while officials do a full investigation of her admissions. The star has made it clear over the years her true passion lies in vlogging on YouTube, and it was her famous parents who pushed her to enroll in college.
Still, the punctuation and trademark errors may not be all Olivia Jade's fault ... considering her history with other people filling out her applications.
