 Crikey - Media & Arts - Jamie Durie trademarking the humble patio
And with the announcement that he's moving to Channel Seven -- in addition to his signed deal with Oprah Winfrey -- it may be time for the patio guru to consider further protecting his very own brand.
Jamie’s already proven pretty savvy when it comes to branding himself; he has four marks registered ("Patio by Jamie Durie", "Jamie Durie Outside Living", "Outside with Jamie Durie", "The Outdoor Room with Jamie Durie") with another pending.
The appeal factor that a celebrity can bring to an advertising campaign underpins a global multi-million dollar industry, and smart celebs are increasingly keen to control both the use of their personality and most importantly their image by trademarking their name, signature and image.
