It’s Thanksgiving and, like many Americans, your Turkey Day will likely be filled with family, lots- no, too much!- food, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and football. These are not only traditions for many Americans but they also are the subjects of Thanksgiving-themed trademark registrations or applications. Between gorging yourself on Aunt Linda’s famous pie or pretending to laugh at same jokes that Uncle Steve tells every year, enjoy this list of inspired Thanksgiving trademarks. Happy Thanksgiving everyone and may you and your families have a safe and wonderful holiday!

• TURDUCKEN: combination turkey, duck and chicken entrée for consumption on or off the premises
