Carey can't trademark "Princess of Christmas" or "QOC." Elizabeth Chan, the "world's only full-time pop Christmas music artist," can now utilize the royal festive names.

Carey wanted to use the Queen of Christmas title on records, fragrances, pet accessories, eyeglasses, and more through her firm, Lotion LLC. This year, Chan objected. Darlene Love protested Carey's move.

WilmerHale attorney Louis Tompros argued this was trademark bullying. We're happy to help Elizabeth oppose Carey's overreaching trademark registrations."

Chan told Page Six, in tears, "I did this to save Christmas." Christmas is for everyone, not just one. "I've dedicated my life to appreciating Christmas," she said. It was hard to oppose Carey for a holiday.

Carey's rep didn't comment. The diva, famed for her Christmas hymns, published a children's book and has a holiday special.

Chan, who just produced "12 Months of Christmas," said, "Christmas is a season of giving, not taking, and it's unfair to monopolize a term like Queen of Christmas for sheer consumerism."

As an independent artist and small business owner, she remarked, "my life's job is to bring people together for the holidays." I wear that title with pride, knowing it will be given to others in the future. I fought trademark bullying to protect myself and the future Queens of Christmas.

"Merry Merry" is Chan's new single. The Patent and Trademark Office stated Carey's side didn't react to Chan's opposition. Therefore she won't acquire the trademark.
