This article explores the implications of trademarking an animal species. It explains that the trademarking of animal species is not common practice and is generally prohibited, as animals are considered part of the public domain. However, trademarking may still be possible if the trademark is used to distinguish a species from others in the same genus, or if the species is used in a commercial setting. It also explains that the trademarking of an animal species can be extremely difficult, as the species must be distinct and unique in order to be eligible. Finally, it notes that trademarking an animal species can have major implications for conservation, as it may lead to the animal being over-exploited or even endangered.
