Adele Trademarks Her Name?
Record-breaking singer Adele has reportedly trademarked her name in order to stop fans being tricked into buying unofficial merchandise.
The Sun newspaper suggests the move will prevent people from misusing her name on items such as perfume and jewellery.
A source told the tabloid: "She doesn't want anyone exploiting her name by using it on products which may trick punters into thinking she's involved with it."
The trademark would mean her identity is protected, and make it easier for the superstar singer to take legal action against anyone using her name to dupe fans.
