A nice term to trademark, too bad it's not yours.

Lexus billboard, Rupert and Grandview Highway, Vancouver, BC

A car that gives you goosebumps™. Sounds promising. It evokes thoughts of fast acceleration and snappy handling.

Too bad that the word goosebumps™ is already trademarked in Canada, and not by Lexus. Since 2001 it has been trademarked by Parachute Press for a "Series of children's suspense books."

So, not quite the image that Lexus is after. 

But on the bright side the Goosebumps books have been around since the early 1990s. The kids who read the books then are now in their prime Lexus buying years.
