Biberaj says they had been preliminarily accepted for the trademark … earlier than Mattel got here out of nowhere and objected to Ken and his group for registering the present as a result of they believed something “Ken” belongs to them. After all, probably the most well-known Ken in existence must be the Ken doll — Barbie’s man, who was launched by Mattel in 1961.
KB is looking BS on the declare … mentioning tons of of 1000’s of dudes in America — together with himself, clearly — are named Ken. An organization cannot cease these legions from utilizing their very own names, proper???
Biberaj jokes he is obtained no plans to vary his identify … so, it will not be “Coffee with Kenny” or “Beers with Biberaj” anytime quickly!
Ken runs us via his present, too … explaining all of it happened as a result of he wished to sit down down, have a espresso and have some actually necessary conversations about weighty matters.

It is perhaps a tense convo … however, hey, no less than there will probably be refreshments!
