According to CNBC, former University of Kentucky standout and top NBA Draft pick Anthony Davis is not getting rid of his trademark unibrow anytime soon. Why? Because Davis is actually trademarking his signature look, even though unibrows are um…complete fashion don'ts in the Western Hemisphere.

CNBC reports that the phrases "Fear the Brow" and "Raise the Brow" have been trademarked by Davis. As ridiculous as that sounds, it may actually be kind of smart, as Davis is destined to make a significant amount of money as the top star of this year's NBA Draft.

“I don’t want anyone to try to grow a unibrow because of me and then try to make money off of it,” Davis said to CNBC. “Me and my family decided to trademark it because it’s very unique.” Anthony Davis is definitely unique, especially when it comes to basketball ability, fashion sense, and learning how to market his image. Although it's hard to believe people would've actually tried to grow unibrows…

ew. How can you trademark this? This is like trademarking being a certain height, or having a certain hair color. What a jackass.

How exactly do you trademark a natural phenomenon that occurs on many people? It is NOT unique to him and I guarantee nobody is copying it on purpose, given that you can't just grow it if you want to. There is nothing signature about it.

How do you "try" to grow a unibrow? You do, or you don't.

This guy is entirely too full of himself if he really thinks his unibrow is unique. It doesn't look good either.

This is stupid and it can't possibly go through.

and shouldn't be allowed because it is a natural phenomena for some people and they shouldn't have to worry about someone having it trademarked.
Doe that mean I can trademark my natural blonde hair?

Probably smart--every cartoon--impression on SNL--drawing in New Yorker or any magazine or newspaper, any TV skit, impression, implied likeness--will have to pay him royalties...you know they're going to do that, so yeah! He's smart.

Should have been an option for both. Yes this is silly, but also smart. This dude is taking a lemon (come on, he has a freakin uni-brow) and making it into a cash cow. That's smart.

Now I wish I could trademark the 6th finger on my left hand.

I don't get how you can trademark this? This surely cannot go through. How can someone trademark something that happens frequently in nature. It's stupid.

Like Trayvon Martin's parents trademarking his name two days after he died. Except THAT was despicable. Davis is just silly. People have taken things too far.
