Along with the hand-drawn sketch, he also shared a handwritten note that’s posted to his website, and addressed to his customers. “Sooo … I have this trademark thing that I need to solve for,” Dre wrote. “According to the trademark people, in order to retain control of your trademarks, you have to actively use them. The trademark office also have deadlines and lots of rules to defend your IP. So here are a few things that I hope you enjoy and the good people at the trademark office will enjoy.”
