Mean Girls’ Digital Comeback
The cult classic from 2004, known for its iconic one-liners and unforgettable characters, is eyeing a futuristic revival. Paramount Pictures has recently filed trademarks that suggest the beloved film will be making a move into the world of Web3, notably through NFTs and crypto-collectibles.
Trademark Talks: What’s New?
In a move that has fans buzzing, trademark attorney Mike Kondoudis shared that on September 7, Paramount filed applications aiming to expand the Mean Girls brand into the digital realm. The filings include:
- Downloadable multimedia files authenticated by NFTs
- Virtual goods in the form of crypto-collectibles
- Transfer and access software for NFTs
It’s like Gretchen Wieners’ infamous line: “You can’t sit with us!” now features a digital twist where the exclusive often comes with a virtual badge of honor.
From The Big Screen to Blockchain
Who would’ve thought that the underground teen drama would march its way into the blockchain discussion? The trademark expansion aligns with a growing trend where nostalgia and technology collide, showing that even teen movies have a role in digital assets.

With applications being filed left and right, it seems that everyone wants a piece of the Web3 pie. Just a day after Paramount’s filing, Viacom International beat them to the punch with intentions to incorporate the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into the metaverse.
The NFT Buzz: A Booming Industry
The landscape for NFT filings is rapidly evolving, and 2022 has seen a surge in trademark applications. As companies sought to stake their claim, reports suggested that the number of filings may surpass the 2021 figures.
- Luxury brands like Hérmes are joining the NFT fray.
